The stage is set for the grand finale of Women’s singles at the Wimbledon. Garbine Muguruza was the first player to book her place in the Wimbledon finals fighting past the no 13 seed Agnieszka Radwanska and defeated her 6-2,3-6,6-3. Secondly, it was the no 1 seed Serena Williams who booked her place in the finals by demolishing Maria Sharapova in straight sets 6-2,6-4.
Garbine Muguruza:
The Final is nicely placed with the Spaniard Muguruza taking on the American Serena Williams. Muguruza game is highly dependent on her serves and powerful ground strokes.Muguruza managed to make 41 of the 52 first serves in and hit 39 winners during her semi-final clash against Radwanska. Muguruza, has to maintain that level of consistency against the world no 1 to have any chances of beating the American. The last time around when they both met in the French Open she managed to beat Serena and she would have fond memories of that and would love to replicate the heroics once again.
