Spain's Garbiñe Muguruza beat World No. 1 Serena Williams 7-5, 6-4 to win her first Grand Slam title at the French Open on Saturday.
The 22-year-old Muguruza is the first Spanish woman to win Roland Garros since Arantxa Sánchez-Vicario in 1998.
"I'm so, so excited - to play in a Grand Slam against one of the best players, it's the perfect final," Muguruza said.
"I'm so happy. I had to be very ready and concentrated on all the points and just to fight as much as I can.
"All the matches I've played against her helped me. It's our favourite tournament in Spain and I want to thank all my Spanish supporters."
Fourth seed Muguruza's straight sets win made amends for her loss against Williams in last year's Wimbledon final.
