Muguruza beats Venus for first Wimbledon title Garbine

By Daily Sports on July 16, 2017


Muguruza said it was "amazing" to beat "role model" Venus Williams to win her first Wimbledon final.

The 23-year-old Spaniard, who had failed to reach a final in the 23 tournaments since she won the French Open last year, defeated five-time champion Williams 7-5 6-0.

Muguruza was beaten by the American's sister Serena in the 2015 final.

"I didn't want to lose this time because I know the difference. I'm so happy," she said.

"I'm happy that once again I see myself winning a Grand Slam, something that is so hard to do.

"It means a lot of confidence."

Speaking on court after the match, Muguruza said of Williams: "She's such an incredible player. I grew up watching her play.

"As the crowd laughed, she turned to the 37-year-old American and added: "Sorry!"

Later, she said: "I was so excited to go there and win especially over someone like a role model."

'I feel incredible to be able to play Venus here'The first set of Saturday's final was a tight affair and would have gone the way of Williams had she converted one of her two break points at 5-4.
