"I was inspired by the golden era of Hollywood, by those dresses worn by Marilyn Monroe, by Elizabeth Taylor, which are elegant, beautiful, and flattering," said the 2-time Grand Slam champion, who organized a flamenco party in a private villa. "I love flamenco, and for the international guests, it was a way to welcome them to Spain, to the south, to this emotion and folklore. Nobody knew about it, it was a surprise for everyone!"

The ceremony, held under a pergola adorned with bougainvillea in spectacular gardens, was conducted in four languages: Spanish, English, Swedish, and Finnish.

Despite her retirement, Muguruza remains active in the tennis world. She frequently appears as a guest at various tournaments and awards ceremonies and currently serves as the director of the WTA Finals, a tournament she won in 2022, which will be held in Riyadh this year.
