Serena Williams beat her sister Venus in straight sets 7-6 6-2 to clinch her third Wimbledon singles crown on a packed Centre Court.

The victory was the number two seed's third victory over her sister in a final at SW19, and came in convincing fashion after a first set tie-break.

Serena stepped up her intensity to devastating effect in the breaker, and clinched it 7-3 with Venus clearly taken aback by her sisters' sudden surge of momentum.
