Wimbledon 2015: Serena Williams is Champion – lifts the Wimbledon Crown for the 6th time
A wild, wide forehand from Williams handed Muguruza a break back, allowing the Spaniard a reprieve. Muguruza held to force Williams to serve for the match a second time.
Williams fended off three more break points, screaming “Where have you been?” when firing an ace to turn the tide. Muguruza produced a fine forehand winner to deny Williams at Championship point – before blowing a fourth break point.
At the fifth time of asking Muguruza broke Williams once more however, to extend the contest still further.
The recovery was not to last: Muguruza’s resolve then finally cracked, Williams breaking to love and converting her second Championship point.
After moving past sister Venus onto six Wimbledon titles, few will bet against her retaining the US Open title and completing that calendar slam.
