Serena Williams has thrashed the dreams of Garbine Muguruza of a "Maiden Major," creating a history of "Serena Slam" once again in the Wimbledon 2015.
Williams beat Muguruza in the straight sets 6-4, 6-4, to win the Wimbledon 2015. This is the 21st major for the Williams sister and her sixth Wimbledon Title.
Here is how it went down:
Williams made three double faults at the opening game, giving away a brilliant start for Muguruza. The World No 1 seemed to be struggling with her first serve. The start of the final was kind of similar to the Muguruza against Radwanska in the semifinals. Fifteen minutes into the game, Muguruza was leading 3-2 in the first set. In fact, she was leading for nearly 26 minutes, before Williams bounced back to win the first set 6-4.
At the start of second set, Muguruza faltered with her forehand, and Williams’ serves were hitting the lines, however she took the game. Muguruza with some strong serving held her game to take it 1-1. Williams then went on to take four consecutive games to 5-1, having the 20-year old struggling with her backhand. However, Muguruza was back to winning ways for the next three games with free swinging, to bounce back to 5-4. Williams had conceded eight double faults throughout the match, but with a good series of aces, she took the second set 6-4.
“It feels so good, it’s been a little while and I really appreciate holding it [the trophy]. Garbine played so well, I didn’t know it was over – you’ll be holding this trophy very soon, believe me,” Williams said about her victory, The Guardian reported. “I’m just happy it was such a great match. I can’t believe I’m standing here with another ‘Serena Slam’. There was definitely a bit of pressure towards the end.”
“I don’t have words to say how I feel. I am very proud. Thanks to the crowd for supporting me. In Spain we don’t have much grass, I’m going to change things now. I want to say congrats to Serena, she’s showing why she’s still No1,” Muguruza said about Williams’ victory, Daily Mail reported.
Muguruza is the first Spanish woman in around 15 years, to advance to a Grand Slam final. She has beaten Angelique Kerber, Caroline Wozniacki and Agnieszka Radwanska in her route to final.
With Wimbledon 2015 victory, Williams is just short of a victory at the U.S Open later this summer, to become the first woman to win a single-season Grand Slam since Steffi Graf in 1988.
