Two-time Grand Slam champion Garbine Muguruza has been enjoying time outside tennis since the US Open 2021 loss. Interestingly, she has picked on one of the interests of Rafael Nadal, that is, professional golfing.

However, unlike Rafa, who is an excellent golfer, Muguruza decided to watch a golf tournament. And she was present for none other than the Ryder Cup 2021.

In addition, the 27-year-old appeared to be enjoying her time on the golf course abundantly. Muguruza later uploaded her showing thumbs-up video on Twitter. She captioned it, “Living the Ryder Cup 2021 very closely. Let’s go!”

(All quotes are translated from Spanish to English via Google Translate).

Earlier, Nadal participated in the hexagonal tourney, which was a team golfing event. Surprisingly enough, he finished the tournament at first individually, whereas his team came second.

Hence, it is clear that Nadal competes at everything with all his might. Many even wonder if he would go all golf mode after he retires from tennis.

Garbine Muguruza’s dream to play mixed doubles with Rafael Nadal at the Olympics

The Spaniards Muguruza and Nadal participated in the mixed doubles tournament in the Olympics before. But then Nadal’s doubles tournament went well, so he decided to drop out of the mixed doubles.

Accordingly, at the start of this year, Muguruza had admitted that she wanted to play with Nadal at the Tokyo Olympics. However, due to a persistent foot injury, the 20-time Grand Slam champion skipped the Olympics altogether.

Therefore, the coming Paris Olympics 2024 might be the last chance for her to utilize the dream. Yet, it is unlikely for Rafa to take on mixed doubles along with the singles event.
