PARIS — About 11 months ago, Garbiñe Muguruza stood drying on the grass court of Wimbledon after losing to Serena Williams in the women’s final. The champion that day consoled the vanquished, telling her not to be sad, that one day she would win a major tournament.
Less than a year later, Williams’s prophecy came true at her own expense. In a rematch of the Wimbledon final that was played on red clay instead of green grass, No. 4 Muguruza upset No. 1 Williams, 7-5, 6-4, on Saturday to capture the 2016 French Open.
