Muguruza Back To Winning Ways

Two-time Grand Slam champion Garbine Muguruza romped to a first WTA title in almost two years.

The Spaniard dug deep to beat Czech Barbora Krejcikova 7-6 (8-6) 6-3 at the Dubai Championships and claimed her first title since she won in Monterrey in April 2019.

She had to dig deep for inspiration as she saved a set point against in the first set before going on to win.

"It means a lot. It's never easy to win titles," said Muguruza.

"I'm excited that it happened now after a few finals that didn't go my way. It was a nice relief.

"It was such a tight match. It could have gone either way. I had to work hard for it."
