Garbine Muguruza became the first player ever to defeat both Williams sisters in a major final, after she beat the elder one, Venus Williams in Saturday’s historic final. The match had two contrasting halves, an evenly contested first set which Venus could not seal after having 2 set points and then was never able to recover and got bagelled in the second set.
Twitter was naturally on fire as the Spanish lady won her second Grand Slam title

Muguruza faced 2 set points in the first set, won it, and then won the 2nd set 6-0, absolute madness… What a crazy final!

What a performance from Garbiñe Muguruza. Venus had her chances in the 1st set, with two SPs. First set was amazing.
