Venus Williams has won her fourth Wimbledon title, beating surprise finalist Marion Bartoli in straight sets.

Williams was the strong favourite from the start and the expected rout looked on the cards as she took the first three games. Her power looked just too much at times for the 22-year-old who lost the first set 6-4. The second was even more comfortable for Williams who won that 6-1. She's now only one of four women who've lifted the Rosewater Dish four times.
