Serena Williams has beaten her sister Venus to claim her first Wimbledon title.
Defending champion Venus was beaten 7-6(4) 6-3 by younger sister Serena in the first final between sisters at the All England Club since 1884.
The first set went to a tie-break in which Serena came out on top (7-4), after she had claimed three straight service breaks in the middle of the set.
The second set proved to be a little less complicated with Serena winning 6-3, adding the Wimbledon title to her French Open crown.
Later today the sisters return to centre court to take on Anna Kournikova and Chanda Rubin in the ladies' doubles semi-final.
