Garbine Muguruza did well to see off Magdalena Frech in straight sets at the Volvo Car Open in Charleston.
It was a good display from Muguruza on her favoured clay surface despite it not being the red colour she is so familiar with. Green Clay is a bit different but Muguruza played well saving all the break points she faced as well as hitting 24 winners.
After the match the in-form Spaniard said:
"I’m happy that I got this win, that I fought hard, that I kept my fighting spirit through the whole match, also in the second set which was tighter than the first set. I’m pleased with that, very simple."
It was a great display from Muguruza who won 6-1 6-3 in 70 minutes of tennis against Frech who did well in the 1st round. The 2nd set was especially tight with Muguruza looking a bit tired at times.
It's no wonder because no player has played more matches this season and this win was her 21 win on the year which is the most by far on the WTA tour. She will face Yulia Putintseva in the next round against whom she holds a 2-0 H2H record.

- I predicted whenthe list was finalised that Linda Noskova would win the WTA Finals and her matches against Gauff and Kostyuk prove that. She is the best (underrated) player in the world!Rapunzel11-11-2026
- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
