    Serena, she is unstoppable


    Serena Williams wouldn't be denied.Deprived of a record-tying 22nd grand slam title in the Australian Open and French Open finals this year, Williams got to No. 22 Saturday by defeating a dogged Angelique Kerber 7-5 6-3 in a high-quality Wimbledon final.It was the same Kerber who beat Williams in Melbourne inJanuary but the world No. 1 turned the tables on the grass at the All England Club with a clinical display of power tennis amid windy conditions."I have definitely had some sleepless nights with a lot of stuff, coming so close and feeling it and not being able to get there," Williams, who was also foiled in her bid to achieve a calendar-year grand slam at last year's U.S. Open, told reporters."This tournament I came in with a different mindset. In Melbourne I thought I played well but Angelique played great, and better. So I knew going into this one I needed tobe calm and be confident and play the tennis I've been playing for well over a decade."She certainly did that.The 34-year-old struck 39 winners. Williams only faced one break point, at 3-3 in the second, and saved it with one of her 13 aces.
