If anybody was considering getting Garbine Muguruza a present for her birthday, a racquet might be a good idea, because this Babolat is dead. RIP.
After dropping the opener, the Spaniard is currently battling with Mirjana Lucic-Baroni in the second set in Beijing. If she wins she’ll become the third player to qualify for the WTA Finals.
Even if she doesn’t, she can take solace in the fact that the chances are very good that she’ll qualify. Plus, today is her 22nd birthday. Happy B-day, Garbine!
