Career

She was given a wildcard at the 2012 Sony Ericsson Open for her first WTA main draw appearance.

In the 2013 BNP Paribas Open, Garbine made it through two qualifying rounds and then made her way to the fourth round of the main draw, where she fell to Angelique Kerber. Murguruza was given a wildcard into the same event that she had success a year prior, the 2013 Sony Open Tennis. Her remarkable success at the tournament continued as she reached the fourth round, recording wins over Katerina Siniakova, No.23 seed Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova and No.9 seed Caroline Wozniacki. Her next opponent will be No.5 seed Li Na.
