Wimbledon 2015: Women's Final Winner, Score and Twitter Reaction

Serena Williams defeated Garbine Muguruza 6-4, 6-4 on Saturday to claim the sixth Wimbledon championship of her career and her 21st Grand Slam trophy overall.

The women's world No. 1 now holds all four Grand Slam titles following Saturday's triumph, and the official Wimbledon Twitter account noted Williams' historic win:

While this was Williams' eighth career visit to the Wimbledon final, Saturday's duel was Muguruza's first appearance in any major final.

Now 21 years old, the Spaniard was still a child when Williams won the U.S. Open in 1999, her first major victory at the age of 17, as relayed by Bet365:

In order to contend against the power of her opponent, Muguruza required a fast start to the contest, and she duly delivered by breaking serve in the opening game.

Ben Rothenberg of the New York Times recorded the initial upset that put the European in the ascendancy, but Williams' past victims had fallen to her comeback potential:

It's been a running theme throughout this year's competition, as well as others, that some of the women's contenders raise the on-court volume perhaps in a bid to rattle their opponents.

Tennis writer Chris Goldsmith hinted that was perhaps Williams' tactic to intimidate Muguruza, who found herself holding down a lead as the first set progressed:

Muguruza maintained that stride until a crucial loss of serve in the eighth game saw Williams draw level at four games apiece; the heavy favorite pulled ahead 5-4 when it came her turn to serve again.

With some of the biggest names in pop culture among her crew of acquaintances, Williams' box showed just what a powerful figure she is in tennis, sport and beyond:

Having broken Williams early on, Muguruza was crushed to suffer two breaks on the bounce and lose the first set with successive defeats in the last three games.

It showed precisely the kind of character and determination for which Williams has become so famed, with Betway outlining the "close, yet so far" nature of Muguruza's opening-set defeat:

In this year's quarter-finals, Williams came back from a set down against Victoria Azarenka to eventually dominate that encounter in a classic showcase of her powers of revival.

However, she enacted that comeback in much quicker fashion against Muguruza, encouraging Daniel Storey of Football365 to judge her "the greatest female sportsperson of all time:"

World No. 20 Muguruza held her own at the start of the second set—or at least long enough to draw at one game apiece—but suffered back-to-back losses of serve and surrendered a 5-1 lead to Williams.

The American's spectacular serve in particular rose to the fore during this period, with the match seemingly beyond the young underdog. Goldsmith outlined her elite ace credentials during the tournament:

It was at this point, however, that a fire ignited under Muguruza, and it came her turn to impose a comeback as she lost just three points across the next two games to pull back at 5-3.

Drawing in a great deal of applause, Muguruza broke Williams' serve for the second time in a row to claw back to within one game of the former champion:

That was as close as it came for Muguruza, however, and Williams completed her "Serena Slam" by taking the final game with one last break of her foe:

Saturday's victory further cements the champion's status as a truly unique competitor of her era, arguably the greatest of all time and one who could yet leave a much greater mark on the sport.

For now, though, Williams will bask in the glory of her latest achievement, while Muguruza is deserving of massive applause in what's likely to be the first of many major final appearances.
