2009 Wimbledon Championships – Women's Singles


defeated her sister, the two-time defending champion Venus Williams, in the final, 7–6, 6–2 to win the Ladies' Singles tennis title at the 2009 Wimbledon Championships. This was Serena's third Wimbledon singles title and eleventh Grand Slam singles title overall. It was also the third time she had won a Grand Slam title after saving a match point against her, which she did in her semifinal match against Elena Dementieva. Serena dropped only one set the entire tournament, to Dementieva in the semifinals.
Venus Williams was attempting to become the first player to win the women's singles tournament three consecutive times since Steffi Graf was champion in 1991, 1992 and 1993.
This edition of the tournament saw the top four seeds all reach the semifinals, for the second time in four years after 2006. As of 2020, this remains the last Grand Slam event to feature the top four seeds on the women's side in the semifinals. The match between Serena Williams and Dementieva was the longest women's semifinal at Wimbledon in the Open Era, lasting two hours and 49 minutes.
