Five-time champion Venus Williams defeated at Wimbledon by Garbine Muguruza

Spanish player, Garbine Muguruza has just won her first Wimbledon title today as she overpowered 37-year-old Venus Williams, 7-5 6-0 in the Wimbledon finals. 

Williams, a five-time champion who had been trying to become the oldest winner of a major in the Open era, had squandered two set points at 5-4 in the first set. After Williams lost a 19-shot rally on the second set point, the Spaniard ran away with the match as the American struggled to find her range.

Muguruza's triumph comes two years after she lost to Venus's younger sister, Serena, in her maiden grand slam finals at the All England Club.
