“Holding the champion’s trophy is everybody’s objective. We play hard in order to play the finals. Maybe they didn’t go my way, the recent finals I’ve played, but at some point it will. To be able to be there is a sign that you’re playing well, and that’s where I want to be.”
Barbora Krejcikova is the last hurdle between Muguruza and her 8th title. They have never played each other so far.
