2002 Wimbledon Championships – Women's Singles

Serena Williams defeated the two-time defending champion, her sister Venus, in the final, 7–6(7–4), 6–3 to win the Ladies' Singles tennis title at the 2002 Wimbledon Championships. [1] Serena claimed the World No. 1 ranking for the first time after winning this tournament. She also became the first player since Steffi Graf in 1996 to win the 'Channel Slam' (winning the French Open and Wimbledon in the same year), a feat which she accomplished again in 2015. Serena did not drop a set throughout the entire tournament.
