Serena Williams won her fifth Wimbledon title Saturday on Centre Court, beating Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland to claim her 14th major championship.
Williams, 30, was dominant at the start and finish, beating Radwanska 6-1, 5-7, 6-2 to win a fifth championship at the All England Club, ending a two-year drought.
"I just remember, I was on the couch and I didn't leave the whole day, for two days. I was just over it. I was praying, like, 'I can't take any more. I've endured enough. Let me be able to get through this,"' Williams said in an interview after winning the Wimbledon title.
Williams, who was until recently a former No. 1, slid down to a 175th ranking after a fourth-round loss at the All England Club last year, her second tournament back.
"Coming here and winning today is amazing," she said. "It's been an unbelievable journey for me."
Serena and her sister Venus have combined to win 10 of the past 13 Wimbledons. The sisters play later on Saturday for their fifth Wimbledon doubles title.
