Williams recorded her 87th singles win on Thursday, the most among any active female player.
After the match, Williams said she thought she played well, but missed her sister Serena who is not at Wimbledon this year because she’s pregnant with her first child.
"Usually it's her in these finals. I'm trying my best to represent Williams as best I can"
