Serena Williams 2015 Wimbledon triumph was a special one-not just for her. She entered the tournament after having won the US Open in 2014 and followed it up with victories at the Australian Open and French Open in 2015.
In short, she was going after the so-called Serena Slam of holding all four Grand Slam titles at the same time for the second time in her career, having done it once already over 2002 and 2003.
Following wins over qualifier Margarita Gasparyan and Timea Babos in the first two rounds, Serena had to dig deep to defeat Heather Watson in the third round.
After seeing off sister Venus Williams in the fourth round, she registered victories against Victoria Azarenka, Maria Sharapova and Garbine Muguruza to lift the title.
By completing Serena Slam 2.0 with her Wimbledon title in 2015, she became only the third player-after Rod Laver and Steffi Graf- to achieve the feat of holding all four majors at the same time for the second time during a playing career.
