The world number one defeated Angelique Kerber in straight sets on Saturday afternoon to cement her name as one of the sport's all-time greats.

Just a few hours later Serena turned her attention to the ladies' doubles final, with a 6-3 6-4 triumph earning the Williams sisters their first Grand Slam title together since 2012 and their sixth overall.

Only Martina Navratilova and Pam Shriver can boast more titles than the pair.
