Wimbledon 2015 : Serena Williams beats Garbine Muguruza in final

Serena Williams beat Spain's Garbine Muguruza to win Wimbledon for the sixth time and complete the 'Serena Slam' as the holder of all four major titles. 

The 33-year-old American won 6-4 6-4 on Centre Court to claim her 21st Grand Slam title and third of 2015. 

Williams withstood a late fightback from 20th seed Muguruza, 21, to come through in one hour and 23 minutes. 

She will head to the US Open next month aiming to complete the first calendar year Grand Slam of her career. 

Muguruza was playing in her first Grand Slam final and took a 4-2 lead, before giving the top seed a mighty scare by battling back from a set and 5-1 down with two breaks of serve. 

She could not quite complete the comeback, however, with an error-strewn service game setting up Williams to clinch a landmark win when the Spaniard found the tramlines.

"Serena Williams will get to 25 Grand Slams and some annoying person somewhere will come up with another achievement that she hasn't done and she will figure out another way to motivate herself to keep going. It comes down to health at the end of the day. If you are still playing well, arguably better, it is pretty hard to stop. If she is able to handle nerves etc, she will be able to go as long as she wants to."

"There was definitely pressure towards the end," said Williams, who also completed the 'Serena Slam' in 2003. 

"Garbine started playing really well and I just had to think to stay out there and work really hard.
"I am having so much fun out on the court. Everyday is a pleasure to be playing and winning Wimbledon." 

Williams won her sixth Wimbledon title and her first since 2012 

A victory in New York would see the world number one match Steffi Graf's calendar Slam of 1988, and tie the German's open era record of 22 major wins. 

Williams, who turns 34 next month, replaces Martina Navratilova as the oldest Wimbledon champion in the open era, and the nine-time winner was among several former champions watching history made from the Royal Box. 

The weight of those achievements had appeared to be taking its toll on Williams when she refused to discuss the potential 'slam' during interviews, and the American started the final nervously. 

Shaw Post would like to congratulate Serena Williams on winning her sixth Wimbledon Title it was obviously on her mind from the moment she touched down in SW19 two weeks ago. She's played some marvelous tennis over the last two weeks and fully deserved her Wimbledon Title. Now we wish her the best of luck in the US Open which starts in September.

As for Garbine Muguruza she gave it her best shot and went down with a fight, she can take heart from the fact that she reached the final of Wimbledon and started well in the first set. But unfortunately for her once Williams got her mojo back she  became unstoppable.
