MADRID, 18 One. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Spanish tennis player Garbiñe Muguruza was “satisfied” after winning in the First Round of the Australian Open, the first ‘Grand Slam’ of the 2022 season, against the French Clara Burel (3-6 and 4-6) and added that “always” she has believed in herself, even when she has been “lower” in the ranking.
“I’ve always believed in myself, whether I’ve been at the top of the ranking or lower, it doesn’t matter. I’m still in the same line of getting good results,” he told Eurosport after the match.
In this sense, he acknowledged that he has “always” felt the pressure of playing in a Grand Slam. “The truth is that now that I’m more in the spotlight, it doesn’t change what I feel when I play a ‘Grand Slam,'” added the Spanish-Venezuelan, who is once again a candidate to win.
About her debut at this Australian Open, she said she was “satisfied”. “It’s a first round of the ‘Grand Slam’ and you never know. Today I played against a player I didn’t know and it makes the match strange. Despite the nerves and uncertainty, I’m happy with my game and for having overcome this first match,” he celebrated.
Asked about her habit of not looking at the draw and not meeting her opponent until the day before, she explained that it all started at her first Australian Open. “I started when I first came to Australia, not looking at the paintings. I don’t look at anything, I don’t ask anyone, and I keep it a secret,” he said.
