Sue Barker presents coverage of the 2009 women's singles final at Wimbledon as Venus and Serena Williams meet for the second year running. The famous Centre Court has witnessed some classic finals in the past - 25 years ago Martina Navratilova again saw off her great rival Chris Evert to take the title, while 10 years ago Steffi Graf's last appearance in a Wimbledon final ended with defeat to Lindsay Davenport of the USA. Since then the title has been dominated by American winners, with eight of the last 10 champions hailing from across the Atlantic. Last year it was Venus Williams who lifted the famous Venus Rosewater Dish for a fifth time after a straight sets victory against sister Serena.
