She is only the second player to face both Williams sisters in the final of the same grand slam after Martina Hingis beat Venus to win the US Open in 1997 then lost to Serena at the same tournament in 1999. Saturday morning at Wimbledon’s Centre Court, Venus Williams had that moment in front of her, had that opportunity to begin the final march to her eighth major, her first in nearly a decade. "Well done today, beautiful," Venus Williams said on the court after the match, congratulating Muguruza. I grew up watching her play, so it was incredible to play (her in) the final... Two years ago I lost in the final to Serena and she told me one day I was going to maybe win and hey, two years after here I am." But after her loss, her attention turned to the men’s singles final on Sunday and she admitted she would much prefer Federer to beat Cilic as he looks to become the most successful male at the All England Club.
In tennis, Garbiñe Muguruza of Spain defeats Venus Williams of the United States 7–5, 6–0 to win the women's singles tournament. It is Muguruza's second Grand Slam title after her win in the 2016 French Open.
