2010 Wimbledon Champions Ball

Serena Williams and Rafael Nadal were all teeth at last night's Wimbledon Champions Ball at the InterContinental Park Lane Hotel in London.

The King and Queen of Tennis
Serena -- who must be wearing 5-inch heels to suddenly match the 6-1 Spaniard -- easily dismissed Vera Zvonareva on Saturday while Nadal overpowered upset king Tomas Berdych in yesterday's anticlimactic men's final. During the ball, Sandra Bernhard, who raced to Venus Williams' defense last week, was tweeting yesterday that she was "just relaxing with @serenajwilliams at the wimbledon ball!" (Another fantastical tale in the making?)

Meanwhile Serena -- looking fetching in a Burberry dress -- was tweeting to her guest Bryant Mckinnie of the Minnesota Vikings (above) -- who it sounds like brought teammate Fred Evans to the ball with him -- that "your boy Fred Evans is a total pervert If I ever see him again... I'm gonna knee him ..I need/ deserve an apology!!"

Later, she updated: "So tweeps- Fred this guy was totally disrespectful to me and my girls... He even came up to me and started thrusting his hips toward me!!!"

"How rude is that??"

"I literally had to push him!!! Next time I have a better game plan FRED! Watch out!!! U r not the only one with 36 D"

Somewhere, I'm guessing the Duchess of Kent was looking on in sheer delight.

Nadal, looking handsome in black tie, saviors the moment

With his favorite trophy

With Tim Henman, the Andy Murray of his generation
