"I did not know who I was facing but it was good" says Muguruza after win

Muguruza and Burel never played against each other which present a certain problem. The Spaniard was unaware of what to expect but she was happy she overcome it. She said:

"It felt very good. I didn't know really who I was facing, we've never played before. She was very tricky."

Burel showed plenty of fight and managed to break Muguruza in the opening set but her own serve was brittle and 12 double faults dug a hole she was always going to struggle to get out of. Muguruza further said:

"You're always nervous going out there on Rod Laver, which I love, and starting a Grand Slam campaign. I'm very happy with the way I played and, of course, controlling the nerves."
