Williams wins Wimbledon, completes second Serena Slam

Serena Williams won her 21st Grand Slam title and sixth at Wimbledon with a 6-4 6-4 victory over first-time major finalist Garbine Muguruza of Spain. After a strong and courageous start, Muguruza's resistance was cracked midway through the first set and when it seemed that Williams would finish things off quickly in the second set, Muguruza treated tennis fans with a miraculous stretch of three game wins.

The world No.20 Muguruza broke Williams' serve in the long opening game and hung on to that advantage all the way to 4-2, when Williams won her service game to love and finally used a break point to level the set at 4-4.
