It was a grand slam weekend in tennis with stellar results at Wimbledon. Serbian Novak Djokovic beat Switzerland's Roger Federer in the men’s singles final. This marks Djokovic’s second consecutive year winning Wimbledon, and the 28-year-old player accomplished it with a fury – not allowing the pressure of Federer’s 130 mph serve to get the best of him.
On Saturday, American superstar Serena Williams won her third Grand Slam tournament of 2015 — and 21st overall – taking the Wimbledon Singles title after defeating Spain's Garbine Muguruza.
How did the weekend stack up when it comes to the timing of such a prestigious occasion? Here it is in watch talk: Rolex is the Official Timekeeper of the epic event. In fact, Rolex has been involved in the world of tennis since 1978. Not only is the brand the Official Timekeeper of The Championships at Wimbledon, but it also has a host of tennis brand ambassadors on board, including Roger Federer.
Williams wears the 37mm Royal Oak Offshore watch by Audemars Piguet. The white rubber, diamond-set rose-gold timepiece was on her wrist throughout the tournament and as she accepted her sixth Wimbledon trophy — making international headlines.
Other watch brands also play a role in the world of tennis. TAG Heuer, for instance, has tennis great Maria Sharapova on board as a brand ambassador. The company also has Japan's Kei Nishikori, a prodigy at a very young age, as a brand ambassador. Both were participants in this year's Wimbledon.
