Serena Williams: 'Garbine Muguruza will win Wimbledon very soon'

Serena: 'Muruguza will win Wimbledon'

Wimbledon winner Serena Williams has paid tribute to Garbine Muguruza, her opponent in the 2015 final, claiming that she will one day be the tournament winner.

The 33-year-old American blasted her way to her sixth All-England Club singles title with a 6-4 6-4 victory on Centre Court and claimed her second "Serena Slam" of her career in the process.

She told BBC Sport: "It feels so good. Garbine played so well. I didn't even know it was over because she was fighting so hard at the end. She will be holding this trophy very, very soon.

"I can't believe I am standing here with another Serena Slam. It is so cool. It has been a pleasure and an honour to give so many years in this unbelievable place."

Williams currently holds all four major trophies in the sport - the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and US Open.
