6:37 pm
beneath the reefyfiuterrheer- she wants to close out points quickly, but amid the aggression those flashes took williams to the brink of the first set. she had two points for the advantage, but back came muguruza, with bravery and brilliance, that would be the shot of the set. her battling saw off break points and suddenly she had the lead. how this sport can swing. that exchange would have its effect on williams. even with her experience, she gets unsettled. muguruza has grown into this tournament, now she had grown into the match. three breaks in the second set had her racing towards the title. two years ago she was denied by serena. she would not miss this chance. tears of despair a couple of years ago but overwhelming joy now. she is the champion.
6:38 pm
venus williams says she will be back again to win more. it was the game's new star to light up centre. a first wimbledon title. the start of her own legacy. i had i think the hardest match today against venus. she is such an incredible player. i grew up watching her play so it is incredible to play the final... laughter sorry! sue barker: but she was an inspiration? definitely. i feel incredible to play her here. and you showed no sign of nerves. i think it is inside. of course i am nervous. i always dreamed to be here. i was composed, i guess. that first set was crucial, wasn't it? yes, it was very, very tough. we both had a lot of chances so i am glad i made it. what about your team 7 your coach cannot be here. do you have a message for him?

back but it was a fantastic day for garbine muguruza. after the match we spoke to another former champion, mary pierce. it was quite something. that first set was a real battle. there was the epic long rally of 19 shots where garbine muguruza played so shots where garbine muguruza played so solid, so aggressive. i think that really turned things around for her, winning that game, going to 5—5 and winning the first set. and it seemed physically venus williams was at the same player in the second set. the first set took a lot out of her physically. very quickly, garbine muguruza took that match. but so happy for her. i think she really deserves it. she has worked ha rd to really deserves it. she has worked hard to get back to where she is 110w. hard to get back to where she is
6:41 pm
now. garbine muguruza won the french open last year and i was so happy to see that smile on her face afterwards. and having conchita martinez in her camp as well has also given her confidence that someone also given her confidence that someone else has already done this and can give her tips. what does this victory mean to her, the second grand slam title, how big an achievement if this? i think it consolidates and concerns your position in tennis and to say, i am a champion, i am a grand slam champion now, i have done it twice. i'm here to stay and hopefully to win some more titles. garbine muguruza did not have a great year over the last 12 months. it has been ha rd over the last 12 months. it has been hard for her to adjust to a new lifestyle. so many things have changed and she has had real difficulties. there is a time it ta kes to difficulties. there is a time it takes to get used to that. she has gone through that time and now she is wimbledon champion now. having
6:42 pm
two grand slam titles will give her a lot more confidence for the rest of the year. venus williams will be so of the year. venus williams will be so disappointed. there was so much history riding on this match. were you disappointed ?|j history riding on this match. were you disappointed? i was so proud of her. at 37 years old, and with an immune condition, to be playing so well is incredible. after everything she has been doing in her career, she has been doing in her career, she obviously enjoys playing tennis. she is obviously sad that she lost but i think she can be proud of herself because she knows she has gone out there and she has given 100% of herself and really left everything out on the court. mary pierce with david on steam. british fans would have been hoping johanna konta could make it to the final but it was not to be for her. alfie hewett and gordon reid
