"I had the hardest match today against Venus," she said speaking on centre court after her victory.
"She's such an incredible player. I grew up watching her play.
"I feel incredible to be able to play her here. Of course I'm nervous because I always dreamed about winning it, but I was composed.
"I want to thank my team who are here, this is not only me, this is all team work. Two years ago I lost in the final against Serena and she told me I was going to win."
