Serena Williams defeated the defending champion, Maria Sharapova, on Saturday to win her second French Open championship.


A year after crumbling out of the French Open’s opening round for the first time in her career, top-seed Williams beat No. 2 Maria Sharapova 6-4, 6-4 to secure her second French Open title. She won her first title 11 years to the day over her older sister Venus  in 2002.


At 31, Williams became the oldest woman to win a major title since Martina Navratilova at Wimbledon in 1990 at age 33.
