— Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) July 9, 2015Muguruza's strength enabled her to dominate early against her experienced opponent. Although she lost six games in a row as Radwanska leveled the match, the world No. 20 prevailed to become the first Spaniard in the Wimbledon final since Arantxa Sanchez Vicario in 1996.
Next for Muguruza: Serena Williams, who beat Maria Sharapova 6-2, 6-4.
