Serena Williams has won her record 23rd Grand Slam singles title, and her sister was right there on court to give her a congratulatory hug. It was Serena's seventh win in nine all-Williams Grand Slam finals, and the first since Wimbledon in 2009. 13-seeded Venus Williams' first trip back to a major final in 7 1/2 years. Williams has won 15 majors since last losing to Venus in a Grand Slam final, at Wimbledon in 2008. After the fourth game, however, Serena Williams didn't face another break point in the 1-hour, 22-minute match.
