Garbiñe Muguruza Blanco is a Spanish-Venezuelan professional tennis player who is currently ranked ninth in singles and twelfth in doubles by the Women's Tennis Association. For many, she is the kind of former champion Aranxta Sanchez-Vicario and with a youth to accomplish many Grand Slams, the way she goes for them: aggressively, without making excuses for her power and style.

Venezuelan-born, Spain-citizen Garbiñe Muguruza is one of the youngest (seed No. 8, No. 9 of the world, 21 year old - October 3, 1993, 1.82 mts tall, 73 kilos) and one of the powerhouse that can challenge Serena Williams as she did at 2014 French Open when she defeat the No. 1 in the second round in her route to her first Grand Slam quarterfinal. This year, the Spaniard lost to Serena at Wimbledon finals 6-4, 6-4 in a game that could be her, really: "Well, everyone wants to beat Serena, you do not want to see her near your competition in the draw because she is so powerful and is a pressure every single point.

- Garbiñe, a simple question: If Serena Williams is so powerful why everyone in the WTA Tour plays her game against her, instead of not trying the physical aspect, the power of her game?

- The thing is that power and intensity is the game of the future. It is the style that best I can play, in my own case. If I play like that, I can win more matches, my body is built for that. In Spain the believe more in me after Wimbledon. I know I can go against Serena and defeat her. It was more mental pressure than physical for me. Now, I know that I can eventually win a Slam soon.

- What did you learn from the final versus Serena Williams in Wimbledon 2015? It was so close 6-4, 6-5 and even with an advantage?

- First, I never knew how my body was going to react in a final vs. the No. 1 of the world. But now, after playing that, I know that I have the power in me and that with the pressure I can perform and everything will change in the future.

Today, she and her doubles partner, also Spaniard Carla Suarez Navarro, started with a win over Serbian Jelena Jankovic and Italian Roberta Vinci 7-6, 6-0. In the singles draw, she will be playing her fisrt match against Ukrainian Lesia Tsurenko, a qualifier player.

Personal life

Muguruza was born to a Spanish father, José Antonio Muguruza from Eibar, Gipuzkoa,[1] and a Venezuelan mother, Scarlet Blanco, in Guatire, Venezuela. She began playing tennis at the age of 3, and after moving to Spain with her family in 1999,[2] Muguruza trained at the Bruguera Tennis Academy near Barcelona.[3][4]

Career

2012–2013

Muguruza was given a wildcard at the 2012 Miami Open for her first WTA main draw appearance. There, she upset former world No. 2 Vera Zvonareva and former world No. 10 Flavia Pennetta in the second and third rounds before losing to the eventual champion, Agnieszka Radwańska in straight sets.
At the 2013 Indian Wells Masters, Muguruza made it through two rounds of qualifying and then made her way to the fourth round of the main draw, where she fell to Angelique Kerber. She was then awarded a main draw wildcard into the Premier Mandatory event in Miami for the second consecutive year, where she advanced to the fourth round, recording wins over Kateřina Siniaková, twenty-third seed Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova and ninth seed Caroline Wozniacki en route before losing to the No. 5 seed, Li Na.

2014: Breakthrough, first WTA singles title and French Open quarterfinal

Muguruza began the 2014 season with a quarterfinal appearance at the Auckland Open, where she lost to former world No. 1 and eventual runner-up, Venus Williams. The following week, Muguruza qualified and eventually won her first WTA singles title at the Hobart International by defeating Klára Zakopalová in the final in straight sets.[5] At the Australian Open, Muguruza recovered from a set down to defeat tenth seed Caroline Wozniacki in three sets[6] to reach the fourth round for the first time where she lost in straight sets to the fifth seed, Agnieszka Radwanska.[7] She and Arantxa Parra Santonja also reached the second round of the doubles event where they lost in straight sets to the eighth seeds, Raquel Kops-Jones and Abigail Spears.

After a second round defeat to former French Open champion Francesca Schiavone at the Italian Open, Muguruza advanced to her first major quarterfinal at the French Open where she defeated the world No. 1 and defending champion, Serena Williams en route[10] before losing to the eventual champion, Maria Sharapova in three sets.[11] Muguruza also reached the semi-finals of the doubles event with Suarez Navarro, where the pair lost in three sets to the top seeds and eventual champions, Peng Shuai and Su-Wei Hsieh. As a result of her strong performances at the event, Muguruza achieved career high singles and doubles rankings of world No. 27 and world No. 36 respectively.
Muguruza began her grass court season at the Rosmalen Grass Court Championships where she reached the quarterfinals before losing to American qualifier Coco Vandeweghe in straight sets after leading 5–2 in the opening set.[12] At the Wimbledon Championships, Muguruza was seeded twenty-seventh but was upset by Vandeweghe in the first round in three sets.[13] Seeded sixteenth in the doubles event with Carla Suárez Navarro, Muguruza and her partner defeated Ajla Tomljanović and Christina McHale and Monica Niculescu and Klára Koukalová to reach the third round where they lost in straight sets to Andrea Petkovic and Magdaléna Rybáriková.[14]

She and Suarez Navarro also reached the third round of the doubles event, defeating Alizé Cornet and Kirsten Flipkens and Marina Erakovic and Arantxa Parra Santonja en route before losing to the unseeded Williams sisters.[27]

Muguruza's final event of the year was the season ending WTA Tournament of Champions in Sofia, Bulgaria. Despite going undefeated in the round robin stage with wins over top seed, Ekaterina Makarova,[39] third seed Flavia Pennetta[40] and sixth seed Alizé Cornet[41] Muguruza fell to the eventual champion, Andrea Petkovic in the semi-finals in straight sets.[42] Muguruza finished the year ranked at career high rankings of world No. 21 in singles and world No. 16 in doubles.

2015: First major final and Top 10 debut



Muguruza reached her second grand slam quarterfinal at the 2015 French Open.
Muguruza's first event of the year was to be the Brisbane International but she was forced to withdraw from the event due to an ankle injury.[43] The following week, Muguruza chose not to defend her title at the Hobart International and competed at the Sydney International instead, where she reached the quarterfinals, defeating Agnieszka Radwańska for the first time in her career en route.[44] At the Australian Open, she progressed to the fourth round for the second consecutive year with wins over Marina Erakovic, Daniela Hantuchová and Timea Bacsinszky before falling to the eventual champion, Serena Williams.
Muguruza won both of her singles rubbers in the 2015 Fed Cup World Group II, defeating Irina-Camelia Begu and world No. 3 Simona Halep but Spain lost the tie 3–2 after Muguruza and her compatriot, Anabel Medina Garrigues lost the deciding doubles rubber. At the Dubai Tennis Championships, Muguruza reached her first WTA Premier 5 semi-final in singles, defeating qualifier Jarmila Gajdošová, twelfth seed Jelena Janković, fifth seed Agnieszka Radwańska and thirteenth seed and doubles partner Carla Suárez Navarro before falling to the seventeenth seed and eventual runner-up, Karolína Plíšková in three sets. She also reached the final of the doubles with Suárez Navarro. The following week, Muguruza retired from her first round match against Suárez Navarro at the Qatar Open while trailing 6–5 in the first set.
In March, Muguruza lost to Plíšková in the third round of the Indian Wells Masters after a second round win over American wildcard Irina Falconi. Despite this, she rose to a career high singles ranking of world No. 19 after the event. A fortnight later, Muguruza reached the third round of the Miami Open after defeating qualifier Sesil Karatantcheva but lost to the eleventh seed Sara Errani after winning the first set.
Muguruza reached the second round of the three clay court events that she competed in leading into the French Open. She lost to second seed Simona Halep in Stuttgart, Kristina Mladenovic in Marrakech and the eventual finalist Svetlana Kuznetsova in Madrid. Muguruza and Suárez Navarro also reached the doubles final of the latter for the second consecutive year but the pair lost in three sets to Casey Dellacqua and Yaroslava Shvedova. Despite failing to win back-to-back matches since February, Muguruza reached her second consecutive French Open quarterfinal, defeating Angelique Kerber[45] and Flavia Pennetta[46] en route, before losing to the eventual runner-up, Lucie Šafářová.[47]
"For me if Muguruza doesn't win it this year, she's going to win this
or another Grand Slam at some point. She's not waiting, she's going
and getting it, and that's the only way you can lift a Grand Slam trophy."
2013 Wimbledon champion Marion Bartoli, on Muguruza after
her semi-final win over Agnieszka Radwańska at the
2015 Wimbledon Championships.[48][49]
Muguruza made a poor start to the grass court season, losing in the first round of the Birmingham Classic and the third round of the Eastbourne International after a first round bye. However, she and Suárez Navarro won their first grass court doubles title in Birmingham, defeating Andrea Hlaváčková and Lucie Hradecká in straight sets in the final. At the Wimbledon Championships, Muguruza defeated 10th seed Angelique Kerber in the third round,[50] 5th seed Caroline Wozniacki in the fourth round,[51] 15th seed Timea Bacsinszky in the quarterfinals and 13th seed Agnieszka Radwańska in the semi-finals to advance to her maiden major final. She played against World No. 1 Serena Williams for the title, but lost in straight sets.[52] After the tournament, Muguruza entered the top 10 for the first time, moving up to No. 9.

Playing style

Muguruza is an ultra-aggressive baseliner but not afraid to come to net. Her flat-hitting power game has been described as similar to Maria Sharapova because of her hard returns and early ball striking.[3]
