Garbine Muguruza : 5 facts about the 2016 French Open winner

She’s the first Spanish woman in 18 years to win the French Open

Arantxa Sanchez Vicario was the last Spaniard before Muguruza to win the French Open

The last time a female Spaniard won the Suzanne Lenglen trophy, Muguruza was only four years old. Back then, it was Spanish ace Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario who lifted the trophy; Sanchez-Vicario was very successful at the French Open, and her win in 1998 was her third French Open title. It was also the last ever Grand Slam final for both Sanchez-Vicario and her rival, American Monica Seles.

Of course, one man has dominated the French Open in the last decade – legendary Spaniard Rafael Nadal.
