The story
Venus Williams won the women’s singles title at Wimbledon in 2000. The ITF archive records her as champion of the grass-court major held from 26 June to 9 July.
How it unfolded
The women’s title belongs to the London tournament and should be distinguished from Williams’s Olympic singles gold in Sydney later in the season. They were separate events with different draws, surfaces and sporting stakes.
The wider picture
The Wimbledon record provides a way to follow the major championships of 2000 without conflating tournament dates with the dates on which historical websites were updated. The source links to the edition’s results and champions register.
