Your say on the women's final
Your say on Henin v Williams
Venus Williams has won her second successive Wimbledon title with a three-set victory over Justine Henin.

Email your verdict on the women's singles final.

HAVE YOUR SAY

Venus Williams over-powered Justine Henin in three sets to regain her Wimbledon crown.

The 19-year-old from Belgium beat Jennifer Capriati en-route to the final, but had no answer to Williams' formidable serve in the final set.

Williams has once again underlined her dominance at SW19, but what did you think of the match?

Email your verdict on the Wimbledon women's final.


Venus got the better of Henin today. Henin is a stylish and gutsy player with a great future. Venus cannot continue to win simply by superior strength. There were times today when she mis-timed the simplest of forehand returns. Papa Williams needs to coach her a bit more if she is to become number one - and remain there for a while.

Venus is a true champion but Henin put up a good fight and will be back to win the title in years to come
  Jackie Williams, USA

I am so proud of Venus! She came out and played very well against an incredible opponent. Way to go!
Terri E, USA

Henin has nice strokes on both sides and can certainly play well, but Venus is an exceptional and graceful champion with excellent tennis skills. It would be quite refreshing if American sports commentators focused more attention on her immense talents and historic accomplishments and give less fuel to the persistent criticisms directed at Venus about everything from her attire to her family. Show some love!
J. Smith, USA

Venus Williams is an inspirational player. She is a role model for me and many other girls out there. Justine Henin too has proved that a person of small stature can still make it to the top.
Chika, USA

Everyone knew who was going to win even before the match started. Venus is a true champion but Henin put up a good fight and will be back to win the title in years to come.
Nicki, West Midlands, UK

Venus is a great champion. She also has a great chance to win the US Open again. Henin will have her time, but not with Venus playing the way she is right now. Go Venus!
Jackie Williams, USA

Venus has proven herself yet again, and on the court where it matters. But why do the fans always prefer her opponents?
Donna, Barbados


Venus is awesome. She played great under pressure she is truly a real champion!
  Orville Lloyd Douglas, Canada
A great match. Venus Williams deserved her victory. She is an excellent role model for millions of children, especially girls throughout the world.
Sagaren L Pillay, Argentina

Venus' increased maturity and composure won the day just as surely as her mighty serve. This young lady showed us that she is a true champion today.
Sharon, Guyana

Venus is awesome. She played great under pressure she is truly a real champion!
Orville Lloyd Douglas, Canada

I think Venus is a great player and deserved to win. With the form she's in now no one will beat her.
Catherine K, England

It was a game well played. Certainly Justine is a player to watch, but today belongs to Venus and I think we should all join hands in congratulating her.
Tayo Ajiboye, Nigeria

Justine is a great player, but Venus is simply awesome! Congratulations to her on a great victory.
Nadia Reid, Canada


Not a classic final, but Venus was the worthy winner
  Sarah, UK
Venus was well composed and had the match well in hand. I knew she would win and she did. If she keeps on like this she will be number one in no time.
Abeiku Dodd, Ghana

Both finalists are in a different league of tennis players. Perhaps Henin will be lucky next time!
Summer Lisa, New Zealand

Henin is definitely a player for the future, there is no denying that. But today, Venus deserved it, and the number one spot too.
Alf, Zimbabwe

Not a classic final, but Venus was the worthy winner. Justine will be back, and maybe win the US Open in August. She has proved that good things come in small packages!
Sarah, UK

Venus is definitely a stronger player than Henin. She deserves this title for the second time.
MO Woo, Malaysia

Congratulations Venus. Next year Justine will be number one.
Walter Buydens, Belgium
