Beautiful game, sunny, smart attitude and killer smile. I'm on the wagon.

She's exactly what the WTA needs at this point, she has the power to bring in a new market no-one really has in recent years (South America.)

Watch her lead the WTA marketing campaign next year. :hearts:

Re: I'm in love with Garbine Muguruza



NOP

South America is a poor region where people care mostly about football not tennis so her market is very limited. Her game is mostly based on hitting the ball harder then your opponent and she has a solid service game so that makes her tennis very basic, but i give you that can be efficient this days since the emphasis is on power (preferable an control power to be successful). Regard her look. Personal i'm attracted more of Eugenie due to her more feminin body/look than i could be of Garbine. :wink2:

One more proof that majority of Halep fans never watched tennis before 2013 or 2014.

Garbine plays for Spain and her father is a Spaniard so I do not get the South American connection.

She's a very very pretty smile. That's already a plus in a girl.
And yet it's Ana who looks like she hasn't had a decent meal in years :oh:

You do realise South America has quite a number of South American grand slam champions dating back to the 1950's?

Doesn't matter. Nobody is interesting in women tennis. Maybe some local can step in and tell us what is the sport that stir the most interest in that part of the country. 99% of the people from that part of the world are interested only in football. They wake up with football, eat and sleep with football in their heads.

Beautiful game,
This is one thing i just can't make my mind up on with her, i'll have to see what she shows us over the next 12 months or so...

I can't describe a players game as beautiful when they are either on or off... no middle ground.

Re: I'm in love with Garbine Muguruza

She's good looking but she needs to stop wearing those calf length socks.

Worse than that, and not something she can do much about due to contractual obligations I'd imagine, are those crappy Stella McCartney dresses she has to wear which do her no favours most of the time. Same problem has befallen Petko sadly, only Flavia and Woz could just about pull off those monstrosities for some reason.

I think she could really kick on next season, Sumyk seems to have galvanised her and her old coach didn't seem to be able to motivate her a lot at times during the match.

I don't know why TF is so opposed to WTA pushing pretty girls. Its the main thing that creates interest to WTA (sadly). As evidenced by this thread.

Would you dare say she's a... "SEX GODDESS"?!?!

Re: I'm in love with Garbine Muguruza

hmm.. she def has to add much more variety to her game and develop some decent net skills in order to win anything big in the future, but considering the looks and her smile especially i'd go along with the OP as she really seems to be a very nice girl. can't admit i love her already though... :lol:

Re: I'm in love with Garbine Muguruza

She's a BBB that screams her lungs out.
Garbina is still a "Rising Star" in the eyes of the WTA. :help:

They haven't done anything to promote the likes of Muguruza, Bencic and Pliskova while they're wasting their marketing resources with the lame contest for Singapore. Hardcore fans prefer players that aren't overhyped (like Halep over Bouchard) but you do need the casual fan to be aware of a player's existence.

She won't have that much pressure next year because the media is letting her fly under the radar.

If she grabs the trophy in Beijing (which is not that impossible now) the WTA approach may change dramatically. Such a break through would be an opportunity the board of the Organization should not miss.

Being a Halep fan I admit I'm not an expert in tennis but, concerning the South American female tennis history, I dare to go aside Dan's assertion just because I have to admit I do not remember any significant South American female player excepting Sabatini. I used to be a kind of fan of her (she was a darling of the tour, especially when she was a teen) and I recall I was frustrated due to her serial defeats vs Graf on many important finals of the tour. She was "the real #2" of her time...
