Looking back on her illustrious career, Muguruza told the WTA: “If, 25 years ago when I started hitting my first tennis balls, someone had told me that I would become a professional tennis player, that I would fulfil my dream of winning Roland Garros and Wimbledon, that I would become No.1 in the world and win the WTA Finals … I would have thought this person was crazy.”
Muguruza last played on Tour in January 2023 in Lyon, France.
The 30-year-old won 10 career titles and nearly 25 million in career prize money.
