Top five best Wimbledon finals from the women’s side
Over the last few years, the All England club has hosted an inimitable number of amazing women’s tennis players, challenges, as well as matches. Here is a list of top four finalists of all times at the All England club who contributed in exhibiting some wonderful display of tennis at the grass court Grand Slam championship.
4. Steffi Graff Knocked down Arantxa Sanchez Vicario in the 1995 Wimbledon final
The final match score turned out to be 4-6, 6-1, and 7-5. The reason behind rating this match as number fourth in our list is the fact that Graff came at the All England Club after a tough season. She had previously defeated in the grass court Grand Slam tournament back in 1994 after a period of ten years and skipped the Australian Open back in 1995 as a result of his injury as well.
Vicario, who was the champion of the 1995 women's doubles trophy at Wimbledon, came out with an excellent start versus Graf, grabbing the first set 6-4. However, Graff just at the right time came back to her form knocked down Vicario 6-1 in the set number two of the crown at the All England Club.
3. Martina Hingis knocked down Jana Novotna in 1997 Wimbledon final
The 1997 season totally turned out to be Hingis year in the end. The sixteen years old tennis ace from Switzerland was ranked as the number one player in the same year. Novotna in their final encounter at the All England Club thought that Hingis would turn out to be less of an obstructer as compared to Steffi Graff.
Novotna attacked Hingis in the set number one, and relied on pace to lock down her very first grass court Grand Slam championship. However Hingis, who had already triumphed in the Australian Open tournament that year, came back with a tremendous 6-3 second set to win the crown in the end.
The third seeded Novotna could not successfully manage the task versus Hingis, who was playing the championship as seeded one. Hingis registered another 6-3 set, and grabbed her first and only grass court Grand Slam championship by knocking down Novotna.
The final match score turned out to be 2-6, 6-3, and 6-3
2. Serena Williams knocked down Venus Williams in 2003 Wimbledon final
The match has been ranked as number two in the list particularly due to the reason that it was one of the best Williams matchup at the All England Club. In spite of the fact that Venus managed to win the first set of the match versus her sister Serena Williams however, Serena bounced back strongly winning the second as well as the third set of the final match. The tennis fans still remember Williams’s matchup of 2003 Wimbledon final both in terms of class as well as the quality of play. The final score turned out to be 4-6, 6-4, and 6-
1. Venus Williams knocked down Lindsay Davenport in 2005 Wimbledon final
While ranking these, there was no measure of speculation what so ever in my mind which match would be rated as number one.
In 2005 Davenport and Williams put on the women’s edition of Isner-Mahut marathon in the finals. Their clash broke the Open era record for lengthiest women’s final that concluded after a time period of one hundred and sixty six minutes as they kept on fighting in the tie-break less set number three.
Davenport appeared in the championship as seeded number one where as Williams was seeded fourteenth however she managed to win the title and became the lowest ranked (sixteenth) player from the women’s side to gain the Wimbledon trophy. This is perhaps the biggest reason of rating this match as the top ranked contest at the All England Club so far.
The final match score was 4-6, 7-6 (7-4), 9-7
