Winner
Kerber enjoys a comfortable victory
Kerber sealed the match in a comfortable fashion with a 6-3, 6-3 victory. This was her first Wimbledon title. Earlier she had pocketed the Australian Open and US Open back in 2016. Kerber was stunning with her rallies and Serena was no match for the German left-handed player. Serena missed out on winning her 24th Slam and equaling Margaret Court.
