Serena Williams took another seismic step toward the calendar-year Grand Slam, defeating 20th-seeded Garbine Muguruza in Saturday's 2015 Wimbledon women's final to win her fourth straight major and 21st of her legendary career.

It was yet another straight-sets performance from the top seed, who dispatched the Spaniard challenger 6-4, 6-4 in a match that lasted just one hour and 23 minutes for her sixth singles title on Centre Court. Bleacher Report capped the result:



She's had her fair share of close calls, like a near-defeat to Great Britain's Heather Watson and another three-set test from Victoria Azarenka. But otherwise, Williams has been dominant, as she's swept the rest of the tournament in straight-sets fashion. 

Williams did the same Saturday to Muguruza, remaining in control during the opening set before taking advantage of two break opportunities to win the first set 6-4. She overcame four first-set double faults and a conversion rate below 50 percent on second serves to take the opening frame.

The match was nearly wrapped up moments later when Williams sprinted out to a 5-1 lead in the second and final set. But Muguruza failed to go down quietly, rebounding to win three straight games and break Williams' serve to get back into the set.

Her efforts came up well short, but Ryan Nanni of SBNation noted how Muguruza's performance flew under the radar:



In the end, Muguruza simply couldn't match Williams' power and placement. Despite coming into the match with nearly 30 aces in the tournament, the Spaniard hit just three in Saturday's match, while Williams knocked 12 aces past her opponent.

Muguruza actually had more accurate service, as she hit 70 percent of her first serves in but only won 53 percent of such points. Her inferiority in the service box only became more lopsided as the match wore along, which ESPN Stats & Info observed:
