THE PRESSURE TO WIN THE WTA FINALS
Many compare this version of Muguruza to the one seen last year at the WTA Finals of Guadalajara, where he won the title giving an absolutely superb feeling. “Perhaps that is what is weighing me down, constantly comparing myself to that moment. I have to forget a little about everything external and simply play tennis,” admits Garbiñe, who also spoke about the statements of Paula Badosa in which he compared the pressure received with the obsession because the Spanish players emulate Rafael Nadal. “I already have more years of experience and in a way I like that pressure. Of course, it’s a double-edged sword: people have high expectations, and when things don’t go well they ask you what happened.”
