Garbine Muguruza upset Serena Williams 7-5 6-4 on Saturday to win the first grand slam of her career, while also depriving the American of tying Steffi Graf's Open Era record of 22 majors. Serena has been trying to tie Andre Agassi's Wife and mother of two children for the last year. It may still be tied or beaten but the record is a daunting one. Garbine won with a surprise lob.
