Spanish tennis player Garbine Muguruza is one of the prominent names on the women’s Tour. Over the years, she has impressed fans with some top-quality tennis. The 27-year-old player still continues to remain amongst the top players on Tour.

Recently, Garbine Muguruza spoke about the benefits players in the top 10 rankings receive. Being a top-ranked player gives certain privileges like getting a bye in the initial rounds. Due to that, at times, the high-ranked players end up playing a match lesser than other players competing in the draw.

The 27-year-old spoke on this and stated, “Going back to the Top 10 gives me ‘chances’ (options) to have ‘byes’ (exemptions) in the first rounds, something that is appreciated to alleviate the accumulation of matches. We still don’t know how the year is going to end, so we have to take advantage of every opportunity we get… I wanted to avoid jetlags, so I came directly to Sarasota where I was able to rest, adapt to the schedule and go back to training.”
