Simona Halep defeats Serena Williams in straight sets to take the Wimbledon Championship

Posted on 07/13/2019 7:07:51 AM PDT by Conserv

6-2, 6-2

Williams did her best primal screams, but it didn't matter. SHE LOST.... in straight sets.

I swear, one of her screams was 30 seconds long.

ABC will replay the match at 3:00 pm

Stephen A. Smith must be on a suicide watch.

Stephen A. Smith stated yesterday that she would win because, “SHE IS SERENA!”

6-2 in straight sets, that’s a solid romping... the era of the Williams sisters is coming to an end..

At one point, Halep was up 4-0 in the 1st set.

Serena WAS very gracious in defeat. Well done. Such a difference from the disaster of the womens soccer team.

Ya done Serena. It’s been a long run. Bow out graciously.

One of the shortest ever wimbledon finals.
Sareena was totally outclassed.
Halep reminds me a little of monica seles.
Without that knife incident, i believe seles would have dominated women’s tennis.

Agree 100%. She was solidly trounced but was still gracious in defeat. I think her age is beginning to show.

Simona played awesome. A great, but fast, game. Serena, as usual when she loses, was gracious in acknowledging Simona outplayed her.

Serena WAS very gracious in defeat.

For a change, unlike last year at the US Open.

Yes they have had very good runs, not taking anything away from them, but time eventually catches everyone.. I am sure they could keep playing for a while and advance a few rounds but the days of them routinely making it far or winning are coming to a close.

Not sure why you think they are
Men, they are very much women. Just not of European or asian decent. Body style is different but it is not masculine.
