No. 1 rank a lifelong dream for Spain’s Muguruza

Wimbledon champion Garbine Muguruza hailed her climb to world No. 1 for the first time as a “dream come true” as the Spaniard will top the new WTA rankings on Monday.

Karolina Pliskova’s US Open quarterfinal defeat to American 20th seed CoCo Vandeweghe on Wednesday ensured two-time Grand Slam winner Muguruza will become the 24th woman to top the rankings in WTA history. “It is a dream come true, something I always wanted since I was small,” said Muguruza in a video posted on her Twitter feed. “None of it would be possible without my family, my fans, my team, who are at the grindstone with me every day. I want to thank them a lot for their support. I am here thanks to them so I hope to maintain this for as long as possible.”
