Spain’s Garbine Muguruza outclassed world number one Serena Williams in straight sets to win her first grand slam title at the French Open.
Fourth seed Muguruza won 7-5 6-4 to make amends for losing last year’s Wimbledon final against the American.
The 22-year-old is Spain’s first female champion at Roland Garros since Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario in 1998.
“This is the big tournament in Spain and Rafa (Nadal) is our champion,” she said courtside, referring to the nine-times men’s winner who pulled out injured last week.
Serena had hoped to win a 22nd grand slam singles and tie Steffi Graf’s open-era record.
