Garbine Muguruza is finding again her way in pro tennis after been missing in action for long. The Spanish sensation has a huge potential and she showed what she can do on any surface after winning the Roland Garros (2016) and Wimbledon (2017). However, after 2017 she couldn’t achieve much.
The Spanish sensation did a couple of things that helped her to start 2020 with a bang to reach the Australian Open final. First, Garbine parted ways with her coach Sam Sumyk to start a new partnership with Conchita Martinez. In addition, the former world no.1 went to a life-changing hike on Mount Kilimanjaro that helped her to find a proper mindset.
Back in the days, Garbine already partnered with Conchita Martinez for a brief stint when she won the Championships, but that didn’t last.
During a recent chat with young players, Muguruza explained why her relationship with Martinez is so beneficial for her tennis. She explained:
“The good thing about having a coach who has been very good as a player is that she usually understands you a lot. Conchita 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.“

Garbine Muguruza’s best result of the present year was getting to the final at the Australian Open.
