WimbleSpin: 19 Great Moments from SW19

WimbleSpin harbors this regal fortnight's latest off-court news.

1. "At 33 years and nine months, Serena became the oldest women’s tennis player to ever win a Grand Slam title, eclipsing Martina Navratilova, who won Wimbledon in 1990 when she was a month younger than Williams is now."—*The Atlantic*

2. It's well worth noting again: Garbine Muguruza, runner-up to Serena, was five years young when Williams the Younger won her first major singles title in 1999.

3. In winning Sunday's men's final, Novak Djokovic tied coach Boris Becker's mark of three Wimbledon singles titles. The ATP World Tour's resident ace, one of the slinkiest behemoths ever in sports, now has nine major singles titles to Becker's six. Maybe the loquacious Becker will stop talking about things his charge would prefer he avoid. But we doubt it.

4. Roger Federer's winning tweener lob against Sam Querrey, which reduced the one-time Millionaire Matchmaker contestant to all but a spectator.

5. That waltz Djokovic wanted that became an "uptempo" number at his dance partner's request. Two words: Delightfully awkward.

6. Seventeen years after her last Wimbledon championship, Martina Hingis won both women's doubles alongside Sania Mirza, and mixed doubles, that with Leander Paes. This feat in tandem with partners who hail from the same country propelled Hingis to declare herself feeling "almost like a quarter Indian."

7. That time none other than J.K. Rowling cast a "Silencio!" spell on a hapless Twitter troll who said Serena Williams is "built like a man."

8. Quotable: “I don’t think you’re ever going to hear nice words from him about me.”—Maria Sharapova, about Patrick Mouratoglou, Serena Williams' coach and rumored boyfriend, who said Victoria Azarenka is "much  better" than Sharapova.

9. It seems Sharapova shouldn't expect anything different anytime soon from the likes of CoCo Vandeweghe.

10. Quotable: "I didn't even get married in white."—Bethanie Mattek-Sands, asked about Wimbledon's strict all-white attire policy.

11. But seriously, again, that splendid gown that Serena wore to the Wimbledon Champions' Dinner.

12. The stars sporting their best Wimble-styles! A legitimate fashion book could be created simply from how the likes of Bradley Cooper to Pippa Middleton, Rosamund Pike to John Legend, and many more dress when they know they're going to be photographed watching fuzzy little balls fly back and forth.

13. Let's hear it for the moms. One can't imagine the sacrifices that are made by those women who carry and mother children while living out dreams of being successful touring professionals in this sport.

14. Flashback: That 2005 ladies' final on Centre Court, which saw Venus Williams beat Lindsay Davenport 9-7 in the third set after nearly three hours. Venus and Davenport recall the match here.

15. That tweeted, fleeting dust-up between Brits Heather Watson and Liam Broady about grunting in men's and women's tennis.

16.Here's a look into Serena's faith as a Jehovah's Witness, a perspective we don't often get.

17. Lleyton Hewitt deserved all the brouhaha he got for going out of his last Wimbledon after a pair of near-epic matches that went the distance, both his singles finale and his doubles bookend alongside countryman Thanasi Kokkinakis.

18. That time Nick Kyrgios bopped a line judge on the top of his dome with an errant ball intended for a ballkid.

19. Seven, eh? Make that eight. And the legend continues.
