Serena Williams defeated the two-time defending champion, her sister Venus Williams, in the final, 7–6(7–4), 6–3 to win the ladies' singles tennis title at the 2002 Wimbledon Championships. It was her first Wimbledon singles title, third major singles title overall, and the second component of her first "Serena Slam," a non-calendar year Grand Slam. Serena did not lose a set during the tournament. She claimed the world No. 1 singles ranking for the first time by winning the tournament. She achieved the 'Channel Slam' (winning the French Open and Wimbledon in the same year), the first time the feat was achieved since Steffi Graf in 1996.
