Garbine Muguruza became the
38th female Ozeki of the open era today, by winning Wimbledon and therefore her second grand slam tournament (after victory at the 2016 French Open) - which suffices to make
Yokozunatennis' second highest rank. Her opponent in the final, veteran Yokozuna (=Grand Champion)
Venus Williams, made the final competitive in the first set, but in the second set it was all Muguruza.
With four Ozeki promotions in the last year -
Angelique Kerber,
Karolina Pliskova,
Jelena Ostapenko, and now Muguruza - the ladies' career Champion ranks have expanded rapidly. Who will be the next female Yokozuna? By today's performance, one needs to have Muguruza on the list.
Full updates of the Wimbledon tournament to come tomorrow after the mens' final, contested between Dai-Yokozuna (=Great Grand Champion)
Roger Federer and former Ozeki
Marin Cilic.
