Roger Federer and Andy Murray have split the first two sets of the Wimbledon final.

Federer is trying to add to his record 16 Grand Slam championships, and tie a record by winning Wimbledon for a seventh time. Murray is trying to become the first British man to win a Grand Slam title since Fred Perry took Wimbledon and the U.S. Championships in 1936.

For Serena Williams, the low point came in early 2011, when she spent hours laying around her home, overwhelmed by a depressing series of health scares that sent her to the hospital repeatedly and kept her away from tennis for 10 months.

The high point came Saturday on Centre Court at Wimbledon, when Williams dropped down to the grass, hands covering her face. She was all the way back, a Grand Slam champion yet again.
