LONDON _ It's safe to say that Garbine Muguruza will face a stiffer challenge from Venus Williams in the Wimbledon women's final than the Spaniard did in Thursday's semifinal.
Slovakia's Magdalena Rybarikova didn't offer much resistance in her 6-1, 6-1 loss to Muguruza.
"I just wanted to play good match," said Rybarikova, who had played in 57 Grand Slam matches yet, until this Wimbledon, had never made it past the third round in any of those tournaments. "I just wanted the crowd to enjoy that. I don't think so they did because was very fast match.
"Even we had some very good rallies, but I was, like, sometimes I could not believe. Sometimes I really was great, and she played even better."
Her flameout in the semifinal notwithstanding, Rybarikova was still pleased with her tournament.
"If somebody tell me before the tournament I'm going to be in semifinal, I for sure take it. You tell me I'm going to lose 6-1, 6-1 ... Obviously I'm a little bit disappointed. But still great."
