Garbine Muguruza defeats Serena for French Open Title

Garbine Muguruza shocked Serena Williams to win her first ever Grand Slam on Saturday, beating the world No. 1 in two sets at the French Open. The set scores were 7-5, 6-4.

The 22-year-old had the upper hand in the majority of the rallies, and while both players made plenty of mistakes, Muguruza took the upper hand from the baseline at key moments.

I've seen headlines saying she "stunned" or "shocked" Serena...not that big of an upset when you're ranked #4, and clay has never been serena's best surface.

She's also really pretty with a winning smile (is it OK to notice?).

Loved Serena addressing the crowd in French.
