London, England (AHN) - Venus Williams powered her way to a historic fifth title in Wimbledon after beating her sister, Serena in straight sets in the final at the All England Club Saturday.

The 28-year-old Venus, who lost to Serena in the Wimbledon finals of 2002 and 2003, battled from a shaky start, down 4-2 in the first, before taking the set and the game 7-5, 6-4 on Center Court.
