Spaniard Garbine Muguruza upset Venus Williams in the 2017 British Open finals to win her second ever career Grand Slam trophy.
Muguruza beat the elder Williams sister 7-5, 6-0 at Wimbledon to take the title home after just an hour and 17 minutes of play.
Serena Williams has won the 2015 Wimbledon…
Williams overcame a slow start, eight double-faults and a nervy finish to beat Garbine Muguruza 6-4, 6-4 on today for her sixth Wimbledon title, fourth Grand Slam championship in a row and 21st major overall.
The win means Williams holds all four Grand Slam titles at once — completing the second “Serena Slam” of her career. What’s more, she secured the third leg of a calendar-year Grand Slam and, if she wins the U.S. Open, will become the first player to sweep all four majors in the same season since Steffi Graf in 1988.
Muguruza was overcome with emotion after losing to Williams in straight sets and was seen crying into her towel at the side of the court.
