It’s not rare that after winning a big title, a tennis player implodes soon after. That should not happen to Garbine. The Spaniard had an incredible performance against Kayla Day to beat the American 6-2 6-0 in just 58 minutes.
I learned a lot from our previous match. MUGURUZA
Garbine had a much tougher encounter against Kayla on American soil back in March in Indian Wells when she defeated the 17-year-old in 3 sets after recovering from a 1 set down. Muguruza commented
“I think I learned a lot from that match. I knew that it was going to be difficult, so I really trained hard and prepared. Kayla has just won the US Open in Juniors, and she’s just very promising, so I knew I had to be concentrated today.”
Next vs. Konjuh
Garbine will face Ana Konjuh in the 2nd round. They have never played each other so far.
STILL STRONG
