Simona Halep stuns Serena Williams to win maiden Wimbledon title
London: Simona Halep produced a spectacular display on Centre Court to deny Serena Williams a record-equalling 24th grand slam title and secure her first Wimbledon crown in the process.
The Romanian blitzed her way through a near-flawless first set, taking it 6-2 in just 26 minutes. And despite Williams raising her performance levels in the second, Halep broke in the fifth and seventh games, before serving out to win the set 6-2 and, with it, the championship.
