The Spanish Garbine Muguruza He assured on Tuesday that he is not taking “any victory, particularly this year” for granted, after making his debut with victory over the Danish. Clara Tauson in US Open, where he arrived after a period marked by hardships.
“I’m satisfied with my match. Obviously I don’t take any win for granted, especially this year. It’s been a year where I didn’t win much, so I’m very happy to get this win in the first round, ” said Muguruza in the press conference after the match.
“I’ve had early eliminations here, so it’s very important for me to accept this challenge. And I have an opponent I’ve never faced, so I don’t know what to expect,” he added.
Muguruza, world number ten, won 6-3 7-6 (5) against Tauson, after a year in which she had a quarterfinal in Doha as her best result.

The Spaniard did not hesitate to admit that this year he did not express the level he wanted.
“It was complicated. One thinks that if you finish a year very well, the next one will be the same. I felt a bit of a downturn this year, sometimes on a tennis level, sometimes on a mental level and sometimes it was just an energy problem,” said.
“I think living so many years on the ‘Tour’ is taking a toll on me this year, but I’m not giving up, I’m trying to smile, knowing I’ve had good times. It’s not the best year of my career, but I’m still here and I’m still competing,” he concluded.
