Eugenie Bouchard, bidding to become the youngest Grand Slam winner since Sharapova in 2006 at the US Open, said It was really tough for me today but I am proud of how I have played for these two weeks.

English actress Keira Knightley and her husband English musician James Righton were present in the Royal Box.

Eugenie Bouchard is named after Britain's Princess Eugenie, the granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II, and the princess was watching from the front row of the Royal Box.

English football player Frank Lampard was among the celebrities watching the match.

Kvitova, who first won Wimbledon in 2011, took just 55 minutes to end her three-year wait for a second Grand Slam crown.

For Eugenie Bouchard, the first Canadian to reach a Grand Slam final, it was a humbling defeat.
