The new blood is here. It is called Muguruza, and it seems possible that in the future, some things in elite tennis will happen differently, as she comes along. Her appearance in Roland Garros acquired the appearance of those placid Saturdays, a peaceful day. Only to find out that Garbiñe Muguruza just won in Paris in two sets, breaking everything. Mangle sometimes acts as a synonym for repair.
Sorry for Serena Williams, who at the display of his rival he moved around the track as those cars that do not find parking and go around the block without stopping. On the other side of paradise, Muguruza racket dripping with rage. Each stroke had its own past, with the tennis player saying, this is for the sleepless days, this for the tests that I failed, this for those nights when I only drank juice … There was no blow without strain; below each flowed abuzz with voices reduced to one syllable, which is that dreaded sound of the shock of the ball with the strings.
Hegemony throughout there is a minute that a newcomer appears, slightly suicidal, and without asking, throws everything on the ground, and decides that now this is their place and time. There must be a more or less rough mannered or rude disposition to snatch a grand slam from a legend. In the eternal battle of any athlete, the victory must always come after taking it, moving towards it and snatch it for yourself. Nobody asks: “Do you want to win today?”. You stride towards your goal with relatively good education and destroy everything in path. An excess of good manners denote an overall shortage of them.
It never hurts to ignore who you face, as if suddenly renouncing the idols that you loved. It was beautiful to see Muguruza play almost without noticing that Serena Williams was fighting until the final whistle. She exuded such authority in her way to win the tournament for the first time it seemed that she had already won in previous years. Moreover, in the television coverage the feeling that toppling Williams with such consistency, Muguruza victory over Roland Garros will last for several years. In one hour and 43 minutes many things can happen, and this time they did happen.
