Garbiñe Muguruza is back in the tennis circuit, although now in a very different way than we were used to. The former Spanish tennis player is currently acting as a director at the WTA Finals 2024, where she has given an interview discussing how she is experiencing this new phase of her life post-competition, as well as being firm regarding complaints about the demanding schedule of the circuit.

Her role as director at the WTA Finals 2024

"This opportunity was very unexpected, I did not expect it at all," Garbiñe explained in an interview with The National News. "I feel very honored that the WTA has thought of me in this way, that they have placed their trust in me for this responsibility. For me, it is a significant step, moving from tennis to a different perspective, organizing events. I believe that the players will feel comfortable talking to me. Having a familiar face they can trust and feel secure with is really different this year."

"I am amazed by the amount of work and attention to detail. When you are a player, you don't notice any of this. You are like a horse, focused. But I am learning a lot about the industry, the business of sports. That is crucial for me because I want to grasp all the concepts. I am realizing that tennis is not a very strong sport in the country (Saudi Arabia). There will now be movement with all the tournaments, events, and influence."

Regarding the demanding schedule

"Would I have continued playing if it were different? No, I don't think so because I have never complained about the circuit. It is what it is; we have many opportunities. You can also create your own schedule. You are not obligated to play all the tournaments. It's fantastic to have so many tournaments, so many opportunities for players who are not in the top 50 or even in the top 10. Then, you can plan your own calendar. I don't think there are reasons to complain; I believe it's the opposite. You create your own schedule and know your capabilities. Especially if you are winning many matches, you tell yourself, okay, maybe I should relax here, maybe I should push harder there."
