After her remarkable victory, Garbine is set to be received by King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia on the 30th of November at the Palacio de La Zarzuela.

With the Spaniard capturing the WTA Finals 2021 title, she received appreciation from compatriots like Rafael Nadal, who congratulated her for ending the season on a high note.

Muguruza had a splendid time during the 2016 and 2017 seasons when she ended up winning the French Open and the Wimbledon Championships, respectively.

Coming to Garbine’s performances during the WTA Finals, she beat some top players during the event. She only lost one match in the event, the first, to Karolina Pliskova. After that, her four match winning streak ensured she emerged with the title. In the semi-finals, she faced another Spaniard, Paulo Badosa, who was fresh off her brilliant title-winning run at Indian Wells.

However, the experienced head prevailed as Muguruza won in straight sets, 6-3, 6-3.

Despite unimpressive Grand Slam campaigns in 2021, she ended the season on a great note, winning the WTA Finals for the first time in her career. Now that the season is over, we wish her all the best in her preparations for the upcoming 2022 season. All eyes will be on her when she steps on the tennis courts once again.
