everyday. Only four have really been able to achieve such a feat,
including her sister, venus who did it twice. Well the number just
came up to five. On saturday a 22 year old spaniard defeated Serena
emphatically 7-5, 6-4 to win the French Open title.
During the game that could be rated as her best performance so far,
the young spaniard-Garbine Muguruza played it the "serena" style all
through. Attacking her service with zeal, swinging and really banging
the game closer the lines.
In more than two decades Serena hasn't let up on her game, smashing
up 22 grand slams in her career till date. Yesterday, she just had to
agree that she met her match in Muguruza.
Although there were times her backhands turned sour, which
allowed Serena to get four straight points, but she still served out
the match at love.
Her final stroke was a wonderful backhand lob, that landed on the
baseline. After the match she expressed her amazement at the victory,
describing it as shocking.
Muguruza is the the first spanish woman to win the cup since 1998.
Spanish men Tennis champion Rafael Nadal who has won the men's cup
nine times sent her a congratulatory message.
