Garbine Muguruza said it was "amazing" to beat "role model" Venus Williams to win her first Wimbledon final.
The 23-year-old Spaniard, who had failed to reach a final in the 23 tournaments since she won the French Open last year, defeated five-time champion Williams 7-5 6-0.
Muguruza was beaten by the American's sister Serena in the 2015 final.
"I didn't want to lose this time because I know the difference. I'm so happy," she said.
"I'm happy that once again I see myself winning a Grand Slam, something that is so hard to do.
