Garbiñe Muguruza spoke on El Partidazo de Cope after being named co-director of the Mutua Madrid Open, a professional challenge that motivates the former Spanish tennis player a lot. When asked about the difference between men's and women's tennis, taking advantage of the upcoming Battle of the Sexes between Sabalenka and Kyrgios in a few weeks, Garbiñe was very clear.

"The superiority of men is not only based on power, but also on physical endurance, musculature, among many other things. I remember never being able to beat my brothers, and I also had male hitting partners, who were not professionals, and I could never win a set against them. A guy who is ranked 1,000 in the world or doesn’t even have a ranking could be far superior to a top-10 player on the WTA circuit. When I was at my best level, being World No. 1, I wouldn't have even beaten a junior," she concluded.
