Garbine Muguruza stuns Venus Williams, wins Wimbledon women’s title

Garbine Muguruza beat Venus Williams 7-5, 6-0 on Saturday to win the 2017 Wimbledon Women’s title.
The 23-year-old became the second Spanish woman to win Wimbledon, a title she lost to Venus’ sister Serena in her maiden Wimbledon final in 2015.

Muguruza said: “The first set was tough. We both had a lot of chances. I’m glad I took mine.
“Two years ago I lost in the final against Serena and she told me I would win one day. Here I am. Finally!”
Muguruza’s current coach Conchita Martinez was the first woman to raise the Spanish flag at Wimbledon in 1994 when she defeated Martina Navratilova.

“Well, I think I’m here because I’ve done a hard work before,” Muguruza said of Martínez’s influence on the eve of the final.
“The magic doesn’t happen just because somebody comes in, and all of a sudden you are incredible.
“I think she’s helping me how to deal with the tournament, because obviously it’s a Grand Slam, and it’s difficult to handle because it’s two weeks. She has experience,” Muguruza added.

In her reaction, Venus Williams, 37, said: “Congratulations Garbine. I know how hard you work.
“I tried my best to do the things Serena does, but I think there will be other opportunities”.
