Serena jubilant after her ‘gutsiest’ win

THE rain came to Serena Williams’ rescue at Wimbledon yesterday after the former champion dramatically collapsed in agony on Centre Court.

Williams screamed in pain as she was struck by cramp in her left leg at 6-5 down in the second set of her fourth round match with Daniela Hantuchova, but bravely carried on after treatment and managed to force a tie-break.

Hantuchova led 4-2 when the rain intervened, buying the two-time champion almost two precious hours to receive treatment.
