LONDON -- Garbine Muguruza has earned the first spot in the Wimbledon women's final, beating unseeded Magdalena Rybarikova 6-1, 6-1 on Thursday.
The 14th-seeded Muguruza, who reached the final at the All England Club in 2015 and won the French Open in 2016, had little trouble with Rybarikova, the 87th ranked player in the world who was playing in the semifinals at a major tournament for the first time in her career.
Muguruza won the first five games of the first set, facing only one break point and saving it. She then broke twice to open the second set and take a 4-0 lead.
