The defending champion recovered from a whirlwind start by her younger sister to land her seventh Grand Slam title courtesy of a 7-5, 6-4 win.

Venus paid tribute to the performance of Serena, who had looked as if she might blast her big sister off court in the opening games.

“I can’t believe it is five because when you are in the final against Serena Williams five seems so far away,” said the champion.

“It’s unbelievable especially with some of the injuries I have gone through. I love this place.”

The quality of the meeting dispelled any suggestion that the two siblings were incapable or unwilling to produce their best tennis against each other.

But Venus admitted she never found it easy to take on Serena, who comfortably won their previous Wimbledon finals, in 2002 and 2003.

“My first job is a big sister and I take that very seriously,” she said. “It is hard for all of my family, although I like to think they want me to win.”
