Venus Beats Sister To Win Wimbledon Final

WIMBLEDON, England (AP) ― Venus Williams won her fifth Wimbledon singles title Saturday, beating younger sister Serena Williams 7-5, 6-4 in the final.

Defending champion Venus is 5-2 in Wimbledon finals, losing only to Serena in 2002 and '03. The win at the All England Club gave Venus her seventh major title.

The match was the seventh Grand Slam final between the American sisters, with Serena leading 5-2. They are now 8-8 overall.

Venus and Serena play later Saturday in the women's doubles final.
