Venus Williams wins forth Wimbledon Tournament - Back On Top
American tennis player Venus Williams has won her fourth women’s title at Wimbledon 2007 by scoring a straight-sets victory over Marion Bartoli of France.
Venus Williams, seeded 23rd at this event, beat the French player easily, 6-4, 6-1. It took only 90 minutes for the American to win the title for the fourth time.
This was the first time the two players have met on the WTA Tour. Marion Bartoli had upset top seed and world number one Justine Henin of Belgium in the semifinals.
As she did two years ago when she came in at No. 14, the imposing American made a mockery of a low seeding to prove that, when fit and healthy, not many can tame her on grass courts.The spirited Marion Bartoli tried her best but ultimately the French 18th seed was ill-equipped to deny the 27-year-old Venus Williams.
Bartoli did bring her unorthodox grass-cutting double-handers to the battle but was left standing time after time as Williams blasted 22 baseline winners and at least as many unplayable firecrackers.
Venus played some unbelievable tennis,” said Bartoli. “She served 120mph (190kmh) on first serve. Sometimes it was hurting my wrist so bad because the ball was coming so fast. “Nobody can beat her when she plays like this on grass. It’s not possible.”
