Finally, on what will happen to her in the future, Garbiñe Muguruza concludes the press conference announcing her retirement as follows: "A thousand things (to do). I want to make up for some of that lost time. I have plans to start a family, get married, have a dog... I want to stay involved in the tennis world, with my sponsors...".
