Wimbledon 2017: Garbine Muguruza beats Venus
Williams to win first title

Spain's Garbine Muguruza won her first Wimbledon title with a
straight-set win over five-time champion Venus Williams.
The 23-year-old saved two set points and won the last nine
games in a 7-5 6-0 victory under the Centre Court roof.
Muguruza denied the 37-year-old a first major title for nine years,
which would have made her the oldest female Grand Slam
champion in the Open era.
It is 14th seed Muguruza's second Grand Slam title after her
French Open triumph over Serena Williams in 2016.
"I had the hardest match today against Venus," said Muguruza.
"She's such an incredible player. I grew up watching her play -
sorry," she added, to the watching American.
"I feel incredible to be able to play her here. Of course I'm
nervous because I always dreamed about winning it, but I was
composed."
Having lost to Serena Williams in the 2015 final, Muguruza
becomes the second Spanish woman to win the Wimbledon
singles title after her coach, Conchita Martinez.
She is also the first woman to beat both Williams sisters in
Grand Slam finals.
