Wimbledon 2016: Serena Williams beats Angelique Kerber to win 22nd Grand Slam

World number one Serena Williams beat German fourth seed Angelique Kerber to win a seventh Wimbledon and 22nd Grand Slam title.

The American, 34, coped with a gusty wind on Centre Court to win 7-5 6-3 and equal Steffi Graf's Open era record of major titles.

Kerber had beaten Williams in the Australian Open final in January but could not produce another shock.

Williams ends a losing run at Slams stretching back to Wimbledon last year.

This court definitely feels like home - Williams

Fourteen years since she first won Wimbledon, Williams claimed the title for a seventh time without dropping a set all tournament.
