Serena Williams has won the women’s Wimbledon championship for the sixth time in a row.  At 33 years of age, Williams has become became the oldest ever Wimbledon champion and also moved one step closer to achieving a calendar Grand Slam, holding the titles for the world's four major tournaments in one year.

Williams win came on the back of her victory over 21 years old Garbine Muguruza on Saturday.

A Wimbledon Championship dinner was held in London, in attendance were notable figures in the world of tennis such as  Williams, Novak Djokovic ,  Boris Becker who is Djokovic’s coach,  Tim Henman,  and former champion Marion Bartoli to mention a few.

However it appeared not everyone was willing to celebrate Williams as a twitter user attributed her Wimbledon win to her ‘manly build’.  People were quick to slam the critic; a notable figure who condemned the twit was prolific writer J.K Rowling’s  famed for the Harry Porter Franchise, Rowling’s went on to call the person behind the offensive twit an ‘idiot’.

The effective response - which was retweeted and favourited hundreds of thousands of times - came after the author gushed: '#SerenaSlam! I love her. What an athlete, what a role model, what a woman!'
