Meet the woman standing between Serena Williams and her 6th Wimbledon title

Garbine Muguruza

There's one woman standing in between Serena Williams and her sixth Wimbledon title - and few people have heard of her, let alone know how to pronounce her name.

The player bidding to stop the 'Serena Slam' (ie the World Number One holding all Grand Slam titles at once) is bubbly brunette Garbine Muguruza.

Athletic, fashion-conscious and a fan of taking selfies, Gabrine appears like any other 21-year-old on her Twitter account as she shares snaps of herself with a new hairdo, posing with friends or when glammed up for a night out. 

But while Garbine may long to be like an average 21-year-old off the court and bemoans the loneliness of being a professional player - to the extent that she has criticised how 'catty' female players tend not to socialise with one another - there's nothing she loves more than tennis, and she's dedicated her life to becoming the best.

'Since teenager I knew I wanted to devote myself to this. When I finished high school, I chose not to continue studying to devote body and soul to the court. 

'It was a hard decision, but my bet and I want to go far. I just want to play, play, play,' she told Spanish magazine Telva in May. Dailymail
