Spain’s Garbine Muguruza commented on her victory at the tournament in Chicago.

“I’m very happy with the win. Of course, I would like to improve my results at Grand Slam tournaments, but I think I performed well in all segments of the season. I’ve been on Tour for a long time and I can tell you that getting to the finals and taking titles is a challenge. I’ve had four chances and I’ve won two trophies, which is a great result. In addition, the trophy is a physical confirmation that you are doing a good job.

Some may say that the competition in Chicago was not very big, but any trophy is important. People just don’t see the amount of work we do to win. So any trophy is valuable.

Of course, the bigger the trophy, the better. But it’s great that a lot of people fought for the trophy this week, but I was the strongest,” the WTA press office quotes Muguruza as saying.
