“The good thing about having a coach who has been very good as a player is that they usually understand a lot. As Conchita, she has been in very special moments because she understands me a lot as a player in that aspect and it is an advantage. I am very fortunate to share that experience with her,” she said in a video conference with ITF and WTA.
In the second half of 2019, Muguruza was inconsistent. After losing the first-round match at Wimbledon, she had won just one match in Wuhan against Peng Shuai. Later, Conchita’s training made the difference. This year, after her success in Melbourne, Garbine Muguruza reached the quarterfinals in Dubai and Doha.
