Since this diagnosis came right before the US Open, Garbine dedicated her first-round win to Navarro. She did this to give Carla her whole-hearted support in these trying times.
While it was great that Garbine dedicated her first-round win to Navarro, she was unable to go far in the tournament. In the second round, she faced Tsvetana Pironkova, who beat her in three sets.

Moving onto the French Open, she was upset in the third round by Danielle Collins. This was definitely disappointing for Muguruza, as she was once the champion there. She will definitely be working to win Slams in 2021, and Navarro will be backing her the whole way.
