| Garbine Muguruza likes defeating defending champions |
Garbine Muguruza is no stranger to upsets, and clearly she has a preference to upend defending champions.
Everyone came to know the name Garbine Muguruza when she thrashed Serena Williams out of Roland Garros, in the second round, whilst Serena was defending her title. She also very, very nearly upended Maria Sharapova at Roland Garros, but sheer willpower brought the Champion through on that occassion.
Yesterday, she went and did it again, in the first round of the Bank of the West Classic in Stanford, California, Garbine again slay the defending champion of the tournament. Australian Open runner up Dominika Cibulkova was outclassed in the first set, and for a while found her wheels in the second set to level the scores, but at 1-all, Mugu pulled away again and finished off the "Pocket Rocket" from Slovakia 6-2, 4-6, 6-2... Definitely a future
I had been busy with my WTA RISING STAR piece on Muguruza, but now it will have to be placed on the backburner for another couple of days.
I think we need to track her progress through the draw at Stanford.
Wanna follow the scores and matches this week... the best place to do that is on the Official WTA website.
