The timing couldn't be better to feature Garbine Muguruza, who sat down with Viv and Matt before she was due to fly to Paris for the closing stages of Roland Garros -- a tournament she won in 2016 to cement her status as a tennis superstar. Not long after that is Wimbledon, where the Spaniard also won in 2017 to hoist her second major singles trophy. Muguruza reflected on those peaks, as well as how it felt to reach world No.1, something she achieved a month after her Wimbledon victory. After some challenging years on tour Muguruza rebounded to reach the Australian Open 2020 final, where she suffered what she described as the most painful defeat of her career. Another high point came in 2021 when she triumphed at the WTA Finals -- the elite eight-player event where she became tournament director after retiring from the sport last year.
