Career

2012

Muguruza was given a wildcard at the 2012 Sony Ericsson Open for her first WTA main draw appearance. There she upset former world No. 2 Vera Zvonareva in two sets in the second round and then beat former world No. 10 Flavia Pennetta before losing to eventual champion Agnieszka Radwańska in straight sets.

2013

In the 2013 BNP Paribas Open, Muguruza 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. Muguruza was given a wildcard into Miami, the same event at which she had had success a year before. Her remarkable success at the tournament continued as she reached the fourth round, recording wins over Kateřina Siniaková, No. 23 seed Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova and No. 9 seed Caroline Wozniacki. She was defeated in the fourth round by the No. 5 seed Li Na.

2014

Muguruza won her first WTA Tour title as a qualifier at the Hobart International, defeating Klára Zakopalová in the final in straight sets. In the third round of the Australian Open, Muguruza beat No. 10 seed Caroline Wozniacki to reach the final 16. Seeded No. 2 in Florianopolis, Muguruza reached her second WTA singles final, where she set up a rematch of her Hobart final against Klara Zakopalova. Despite leading by a set and 5–2, Muguruza eventually lost in three sets.

At the 2014 French Open, Muguruza upset No. 1 and defending champion Serena Williams in the second round, winning in straight sets. She eventually went on to reach her first Grand Slam quarter-final, which will be against 2012 champion Maria Sharapova.
