As everyone knows by now, Serena Williams claimed her sixth Wimbledon title last weekend when she defeated Spanish opponent Garbine Muguruza (6-4, 6-4). It was Williams' 21st Grand Slam title and the third one for the year.

Williams was an obvious favorite to come out on top though Muguruza did give her some scary moments in the early goings. With an opponent like Williams, errors are a big no-no and Muguruza paid dearly for it.

After demolishing rival Maria Sharapova in the semifinals, Williams started out prepared. There were no more slow starts and Williams did the necessary to achieve the highly touted Serena-Slam.

While Williams was savoring her triumph, it seems that the usual insults came her way. Though such is not surprising especially in the world of social media where anything goes, there was one person who stood out: J.K. Rowling.

Expressing her admiration and excitement over Williams’ latest triumph, the "Harry Potter" author tweeted her thoughts on Williams’ Wimbledon 2015 victory.

In the world of social media, expressing thoughts is one thing but insults are another. Normally, such would not even gain any response from high profile Twitter users but Rowling shut down one personal tweet as sarcastically as one would think.

The reply was retweeted over 67,000 times, shaming the alleged responder (@diegtristan8) who had earlier referred to Serena Williams’ success as doable since she was built like a man.

After that fierce exchange (game and match?), Williams would prove to everyone that Rowling’s defense would not be in vain.

Williams came into the Wimbledon Champion’s Dinner wearing a floor-length gown, a dress that perfectly complimented her magnificent physique as she joined her counterpart champion Novak Djokovic at the London Guildhall.

The athlete's latest triumph makes her the oldest Wimbledon champion in her category and moves her closer towards a possible calendar Grand Slam.

"I honestly wouldn't have thought last year after winning the U.S. Open I would win the Serena Slam at all," Williams said. "It's super exciting."

She gets the chance to go for the Grand Slam at the U.S. Open, another tournament she is readily familiar with.

Williams has won the US Open three times and another victory would allow her to become the first player since Steffi Graf (1988) to complete a calendar year Grand Slam.

Her coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, has started to request US supporters to back Williams in her quest this coming September. "I think if the crowd helps her, it's going to be a plus," the Frenchman told reporters.
