LONDON — There was a lot of rooting for the underdog during top seed Serena Williams's Wimbledon final against Garbine Muguruza of Spain and though there was never much doubt who would win the fans were just thrilled to be there.
Williams's straight sets victory over 21-year-old Muguruza brought the American a fourth straight grand slam title and 21 in all, one behind the modern benchmark set by Germany's Steffi Graf, as she completed the 'Serena Slam'.
The moment did not go unappreciated by the huge crowd watching a giant screen on Henman Hill and inside Centre Court.
