"It's always like little details at the end between the great players and the good players" - Muguruza on surviving upset bid by Zidansek in Roland Garros first round match

Former champion Garbine Muguruza battled back from a 3-0 deficit in the final set to survive an upset against Slovenian Tamara Zidansek, prevailing 7-5 4-6 8-6 in her first round match at Roland Garros.
The 2016 champion required three hours to grind out the victory, as she displayed her championship grit to fight back after being up a set and a break in the second.
"Definitely, it was very difficult first round... I know she was playing amazing tennis since the first set, so I just knew that just have to wait for my opportunities," Muguruza said after the match. "I was just trying to stay calm until I saw the chance, and then I went for it."
"It's always like little details at the end between the great players and the good players," she added. "Especially in first rounds, you can always have surprises. You can always not feel great. Then your opponent, you know what? She's playing great and she wants it as much as you, and you're out.
"It's really there is no more a relaxing match or a feeling that you have it under control, because it's really, really the level, it's very similar."
The World No.15 faces Kristyna Pliskova in the second round, as the Czech defeated Viktoria Kuzmova 6-1 6-2 to book her spot in the second round.
