James Stevenson: Extraordinary performance from Simona Halep. Totally deserving Wimbledon champion. In the zone all the way. Played beautifully. Congratulations.
Tim Neill: I don’t think I’ve ever seen Serena dominated like that. Incredible performance and deserving winner.
Ben Wainwright: Simona Halep just made Serena Williams look human. She just hit everything back at her. Possibly the greatest female tennis performance I’ve witnessed. Dominant from start to finish.
Matt Campion: Fantastic play from Simona Halep. Who would have predicted a straight sets defeat for Serena Williams, but Halep was on fire today
Williams 2-6 2-6 Halep
A massive cheer for Serena Williams as she collects her trophy.
But an even bigger one for Simona Halep as she is presented with the Venus Rosewater Dish.
Every single person is on their feet.

I feel very sad for Serena Williams as well. Every time she gets so close to Margaret Court's record of 24 Grand Slam championships, it seems to get further away.

Sue Barker introduces the Duke of Kent, Philip Brook and David Rawlinson onto Centre Court for the presentation.
A round of applause first for today's umpire, Marijana Veljovic.

I was very happy for her to win in Paris - her first Grand Slam after so many years of trying - and she deserves this win. She was the best player from the start of the final to the finish.

Simona Halep cannot believe this. Try to get that smile off her face, I guarantee you will not succeed.
She wrapped up her first Wimbledon title in 56 minutes. That's Romania's first Wimbledon title.

Simona Halep has got Serena Williams in the corner and she's just pounding her down.
It's amazing how well she's moving and how cleanly she's been hitting the ball throughout the match.
This really is a dream come true. Unbelievable.

Claire Abbott: I don’t want to hear any comments that Serena is off her game today. This is alllll Halep!!!
Tom Richards: What a performance from Halep! Maintaining a very high level, she seems unbeatable from here
Stephen Woolsten: I love Serena Williams and its heartbreaking seeing her get chopped down like this. She'll never equal Margaret Court's record.
Dave Downes: In an attempt to put off doing housework I’ve been watching the tennis and... I’m really enjoying it! Who knew? I think the last time I watched a match Steffi Graf was playing!

Break point Halep. She's got it.
Wow wow wow.
A fist pump towards her players box. Hold this next game and Simona Halep is Wimbledon champion.
Rampant Halep breaks again
Williams* 2-6 2-4 Halep
At 30-0 down on her own serve, Williams serves an ace and then takes some deep breaths. She brings it back up to 30-30 and then serves a MASSIVE ace. "About time," she says.
But then it's that net again! We're at deuce. This could be key.
Break point. Nope, another Williams ace.
Advantage Williams. Nope. Net again...Williams has hit 24 unforced errors....

Serena feels as though the court is getting very small, because Simona Halep is everywhere.
It's been a perfectly executed match by Halep so far.
Williams* 2-6 2-4 Halep
Halep moves one step closer to that maiden Wimbledon title.
Serena Williams sends another shot long and all she can do is look down at the grass. I don't think anyone was expecting this today.

Anukram Adhikary: Serena Williams has to be patient and willing to strike 3 or 4 more shots to win a point against Halep today- otherwise, she will continue to make those unforced errors, giving easy points for Halep.
Michael Powell: Say what you want but Halep has been absolutely sensational. I'm in shock.
Kuni: Is it me or are Serena’s feet just not moving? It’s a really poor performance from a great champion. She continues tries to get cute instead of working angles!
Neil Leverett: Sensational defence from Halep. It’s winning her the big points, Serena running out of ideas, but now is the tough bit for Simona to get it home.

What has surprised me the most is the anticipation of Simona Halep. She is reading everything and it feels like Serena is being asked to hit three or four winners to take any one point.

How how HOW did Serena Williams mess that one up. She has acres of space in front of her yet sends a backhand long.
Simona Halep goes a break up in the second set.
Williams is feeling the pressure here and this is Halep's for the taking.
Halep's court coverage helps her win another point
Williams* 2-6 2-2 Halep
Is Simona Halep wearing rollerblades? The speed at which she is flying around the court is unreal. Williams eyes an open space on the court and Halep is there before she knows it.
Williams just isn't taking her chances and we are at break point.

Halep right now is matching the gear change from Williams.
