Wimbledon, England  - In an overpowering performance, Serena Williams bested her older sister, Venus, in straight sets to win the title at Wimbledon for a third time.

The 27-year-old Serena denied her sibling a three-peat at the All England Club with a 7-6 (7-3), 6-2 triumph.

The Williams sisters have combined to win eight of the 10 Wimbledon singles titles this decade. The second-seeded Serena also had championships in 2002 and '03. She lost to Venus in straight sets last year in the final.

Appearing in her 14th Grand Slam final, Serena added to her championship lore. Including a victory at the Australian Open this year, this was the 11th Grand Slam title for Serena, who has 34 overall championships. She essentially came off the mat to win Wimbledon this year, fighting off a match point in Thursday's semifinals to beat Elena Dementieva in three sets, a match that lasted nearly three hours.

"I feel so amazing," said Serena during the trophy presentation. "I feel like I shouldn't be holding the trophy. I can't believe I'm holding it and Venus isn't."

The trophy is named the Venus Rosewater Dish, which Serena held tightly during the award ceremony on court.

"She always wins," Serena said of her sister. "It hasn't settled in that I won yet."

The 29-year-old Venus, seeded third at the tournament, was denied her sixth Wimbledon crown. She also had a 34-set winning streak at Wimbledon snapped. It was the longest such streak since Martina Navratilova won 40 straight between the 1982 final and 1985 final.

"Today she was too good. She had the answer for everything," said Venus. "She played the best tennis today."

It was the fourth time the duo played against each other in a Wimbledon finale. Serena has won three of those encounters, and on Saturday she lost just eight points on her serve the entire match. The younger Williams also held a 12-2 advantage in aces and amazingly won points on 31 of her 33 successful first serves.

This was also the 21st overall meeting between the sisters with Serena grabbing an 11-10 edge. Serena, also the runner-up here in 2004, is 5-3 when they've met in Grand Slam finals.

Just like her sister, Venus played in her 14th Grand Slam final and was gunning for her eighth major championship. She owns 41 career titles and settled for the $695,000 runner-up prize, while her sister took home $1.39 million.

Incredibly, Saturday's result also marked Venus' first loss on Centre Court since 2004.

Playing with a bandage on her left knee, Venus, participating in her eighth Wimbledon final, couldn't maintain her balance on a few points and clearly was a step behind her sister.

Both players were dominant on their serves in the first set, which featured plenty of short rallies. Venus had a perfect opportunity to take a service break in the eighth game, but she squandered the chance by firing a return long despite having her sister leave the the court wide-open. Serena won the final four points of that game to pull even at 4-4.

Serena's backhand winner ended one of the longest rallies of the match, evening the 11th game at 15-15. Venus faced a deuce for the first time on her serve in that game.

Arlington, TX- Still trying to work out some kinks, the Tampa Bay's phenom lefty David Price will take the hill this evening against the hard- hitting Texas Rangers in the second contest of a three-game stint.

Price, a playoff hero for the Rays last season, has been inconsistent since being called into the rotation, and is currently 2-2 and has a 3.93 earned run average.

However, the last time the hard-throwing southpaw took the hill, he limited Florida to just one run on two hits in 6 1/3 innings of duty. Price did have some control issues (five walks), but also struck out four batters.

This will be the first career start for Price against the Rangers.

As for Texas, they will send one of their own young prospects to the mound in Derek Holland. Holland is not as touted as Mr. Price, and his numbers should indicate why, as the southpaw has racked up a pathetic 1-5 ledger with an equally poor 6.20 earned run average.

Holland, who has worked as a reliever and as a starter, has been surprisingly bad at home, and in seven appearances in Arlington he has posted a weak 1-4 mark with a 9.00 earned run average.

This will be Holland's first-ever start against Tampa Bay.

On Friday, Hank Blalock belted a two-run homer and Tommy Hunter pitched 5 1/3 strong innings to collect his first win in the majors on his 23rd birthday, as the Rangers downed the Rays, 3-1.

Hunter (1-1) gave up one run on three hits with five strikeouts and three walks to collect his first win in his sixth start in the big leagues. The University of Alabama product is taking the place of Matt Harrison, who was put on the disabled list last week with biceps inflammation, in the Texas rotation. Frank Francisco retired the side in order in the ninth to pick up his 13th save.

"Tommy was real good tonight. He kept them off balance and he had all of his pitches working. He did a great job," Rangers manager Ron Washington said about Hunter.

Marlon Byrd had an RBI double for the Rangers, who has won three in a row after a three-game skid. Texas had just five hits in the contest.

Scott Kazmir (4-5) allowed three runs -- one earned -- on five hits with six strikeouts in a five-inning start for Tampa Bay, which has lost two straight after a seven-game winning streak.

B. J. Upton stroked an RBI single for the Rays, who had just three hits in the game.

"I think were on the right course. We have been winning lately, playing well, and hitting well. We have lost the last two, but before that we were fine. We feel that we are on our way right now," Rays outfielder Carl Crawford said.

This weekend's series is the first meeting of the season between these teams. The Rays won six of nine matchups with Texas a year ago, including four of six tilts held in Arlington.

Portland, OR - Sharp-shooting forward Hedo Turkoglu appeared headed to the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday afternoon, but by nightfall those talks apparently broke off.

In the latest turn of events, TNT basketball analyst David Aldridge reported late Friday night that Turkoglu has verbally committed to a five-year, $60 million contract with the Toronto Raptors, citing league sources.

According to the report, Toronto renounced its rights to forward Shawn Marion and guards Anthony Parker and Carlos Delfino, freeing up enough salary cap space to add the Turkish star.

The Oregonian newspaper originally reported Turkoglu agreed to a five-year, $50 million contract with Portland, but later in the day indicated he had rejected such an offer.

The 30-year-old Turkoglu, a first-round draft pick of Sacramento in 2000, had spent the previous five years with the Magic and averaged 16.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.9 assists over 77 games last season. He helped the Magic into the NBA Finals, but last week opted out of the final season of his deal that would have paid him $7.3 million.

Not only that, but the Magic already made a big move to replace Turkoglu by working out a trade with New Jersey for Vince Carter on draft night.

The 6-foot-10 Turkoglu spent his first three seasons with the Kings before joining the San Antonio Spurs for one seasons. For his career, he's averaging 12.3 points and 4.2 rebounds and is a career 38.5 percent shooter from three- point range.
