Venus Williams insists she will continue to fight for titles after losing to Garbine Muguruza in the Wimbledon final.
The 37-year-old was bidding to win a first Grand Slam since 2008, but fell at the final hurdle at SW19 in a 7-5 6-0 defeat to the Spaniard.
The five-time Wimbledon champion said afterwards she had tried to emulate sister Serena, who missed the tournament due to pregnancy:
I miss Serena. I tried my best to do the things you do - but I think there will be other opportunities.
Muguruza’s victory not only captured a second Major title, but also a slice of history as she became the first woman to defeat Serena and Venus in Slam finals.
"I had the hardest match today against Venus. She's such an incredible player. I grew up watching her play," said the 23-year-old.
"I feel incredible to be able to play her here. Of course I'm nervous because I always dreamed about winning it, but I was composed."
