Garbine Muguruza blunt: "Even at the top, I wouldn't have beaten a junior"
Freshly appointed as co-director of the Madrid tournament alongside Feliciano Lopez, Garbine Muguruza was asked about the differences between men's and women's tennis, in the context of the upcoming match between Aryna Sabalenka and Nick Kyrgios.
In comments relayed by Punto de Break, the former world number 1 was clear: "Male superiority is not only based on strength, but also on physical endurance, muscle mass – it's a combination of factors.
I remember that I never managed to beat my brothers, and even with non-professional male training partners, I could never win a set against them. A player ranked 1000th in the world, or even unranked, can be much better than a top 10 player on the WTA tour.
At my peak, when I was world number 1, I wouldn't even have been able to beat a junior."
