I’m proud to have found the balance and stability to perform at a high level every day. It takes time. Some people get there sooner, others later. It’s about experience and getting to know yourself better. I’m glad I’m acting very stable so far.
I doubt I’ve had trouble playing before. Even when I was 20-21 I was getting big wins.
It’s all about psychology. Sometimes you have a great talent but you don’t know how to use it properly. I’ve learned how to keep my tennis at a high level.Garbine Muguruza
Winning the tournament in Dubai helped Garbine Muguruza of Spain move up to second place in the WTA championship race.
