Today is Garbine Muguruza’s day.Why? Because she beat defending champion Serena Williams to win the 2016 women French open title. Serena Williams was not at her best today due to injury, however Garbine also had some injury, yet she pushed on to win the title.
Garbine is the first Spanish woman to win the title France since Arantxa Sánchez Vicario beat Monica Seles in the 1998 finals.
After wining in her excitement she said" “I’m so excited. To play a final of a grand slam against one of the best players, I’m so happy. Serena’s a very powerful player so I had to be ready and concentrate on all the points. I just tried to fight as much as I can. All the matches I played against her helped me. In Spain, this is the tournament. Rafa has helped that cause.”
To confess i was pitching for Serena, but i guess determination and hard work pays! Moral of the lesson is #NeverGiveUp!
A big congratulations to her!
