Jade Windley is constantly striving to match the poise and power of the world's top tennis stars.

The 20-year-old, from Tattershall, who won her fourth senior title with a doubles success in Portugal late last week, admits to being in awe of the USA's Serena and Venus Williams after sharing the practice courts with the sisters during her Junior Wimbledon days.

As a former British Junior number One, Windley remembers watching the sisters with wonder as they warmed up for games at the All England Club and she realised then there was a long way to go before she can join their ranks.

With Serena Williams still in the women's singles competition this week, Windley cannot see anyone else getting a look in come finals day on Saturday.

"I was around the practice courts at Junior Wimbledon and I saw quite a lot of them up close," said Windley.

"I remember being totally amazed at the size of Serena.

"Her body is just massive, but they are both so powerful.

"Just standing next to them gives you an impression of what great athletes they are and how far other women players have to go to match them for strength and power.

"I can't really see anyone else but Serena Williams winning Wimbledon again this year.

"I would have liked Kim Clijsters to win, but unfortunately she lost yesterday."

But Windley, a former Horncastle Grammar School student, has been enjoying her own moment of glory.

The Lincolnshire-born player has just returned from Alcobaca in Portugal where she won her fourth senior title.

The 10k hard court event saw Windley and her doubles partner Anna Fitzpatrick sweep aside all-comers to reach the final against Melanie Gloria and Daniela Munoz-Gallegos.

After losing in the same final last year, Windley was determined to go one better, and did so with a convincing 6-2, 6-1 victory.
