“But we want new names and new faces, so come on,” Muguruza said later, grinning and tapping her hand on the table for effect at her postmatch news conference.

With Serena Williams off the tour and preparing to give birth to her first child, the new wave in the women’s game has managed to strike. Jelena Ostapenko, just 20 and unseeded, won the first title of her career at the French Open last month. At Wimbledon, Muguruza, 23 and seeded 14th, resurfaced to win her first title in more than a year.

The question is whether she will sink again under the weight of her perfectionist streak and her high-risk tactics.

“I will try to turn the page as fast as possible, but it’s not easy,” Muguruza said. “To win a Grand Slam and then go out and think you have to play as well as that in every other tournament, that’s a mistake. I am going to stay calm and try not to put such high expectations on myself so perhaps I won’t get so frustrated.”
