Muguruza’s achievement in 2021

Garbine Muguruza started by reaching the finals of the WTA Melbourne Open. However, Ashleigh Barty stunned Muguruza in straight sets. Her next notable performance came at Qatar Open, where for the second time in 2021, she got knocked out in the final of the competition.

The determined Muguruza came back strongly and triumphed gracefully at Dubai Tennis Championships. The Spaniard lifted her second title of the year at the Chicago Fall Tennis Classic, beating Ons Jabeur in a three-set thriller. Despite trailing behind by one set, Muguruza kept her composure and succeeded.

Following these titles victories, Garbine Muguruza entered the top 10 rankings of WTA and has booked her spot in Guadalajara for the year-end tournament. It’ll be interesting to see how a well-rested Muguruza performs there.
