Serena Williams Stunned in Paris by Garbine Muguruza

Defending Champion and World Number One Serena Williams has been dumped out of the French Open in little over an hour by unheralded Spaniard Garbine Muguruza.

Muguruza showed few nerves and dominated the match from start to finish en route to a 6-2, 6-2 victory. Williams appeared uncharacteristically flat and her game was littered with unforced errors.

“I’m very happy,” stated Muguruza after the sensational upset. She will now meet Anna Schmiedlova, who defeated Serena’s sister Venus Williams just an hour earlier.

Eugenie Bouchard Wins Title in Nuremberg

Canadian starlet Eugenie Bouchard broke through to win her first WTA title with a 6-2, 4-6, 6-3 victory over Karolina Pliskova to secure the Nuremberg Cup.

Bouchard looked comfortable after bagging the opening set, and seemed to be cruising at 4-2 in the second. She then began experiencing problems with her serve. Pliskova accepted the invitation to get back in the match and duly reeled off four straight games to take the second set and level proceedings. The streak continued with her adding another game to take an early lead in the third.

The deciding set was a roller coaster ride with both players being broken on multiple occasions before Bouchard steadied the ship to prevail and take her maiden title.

“This is kind of like a stepping stone for me. Winning a WTA title is of course a goal I’ve had, and I’m so happy to accomplish it,” stated a relieved Bouchard after the match.

Her win secured the first WTA title for a Canadian woman since Aleksandra Wozniak, in 2008.

She is now scheduled to take on Israel’s Shahar Peer in her opening match of the French Open at Roland Garros.
