Garbiñe Muguruza
could not complete the perfect week after stumbling in the final of the Yarra Valley Classic tournament, in Melbourne, against local
Ashleigh Barty
by a tight 7-6 (3), 6-4.
Muguruza, who had received ten games against before playing the final, fell to the first world ranking in a week in which he left very good tennis sensations that served to improve his confidence ahead of his debut this Tuesday at the Open of Australia before the Russian
Margarita Gasparyan
.
He took to the track again with the same concentration and aggressiveness that were protagonists in his previous rounds and dodged the intelligent and versatile game of his rival Barty.
However, he did not take advantage of his first great opportunity to close the first set with his service, when the score was a favorable 5-4, and ended up paying the consequences after giving up the first round 7-6 (3).
Stunned by the outcome of the first set, she needed more time than usual to find the rhythm of the match during the second set but, finally, she got the break to set the momentary equalizer (3-3).
Barty, who had not played an official tournament for a year, responded at the most delicate moment and intimidated Muguruza's service, his most lethal weapon throughout the competition, which would be key to sentencing the clash with a final 6-4 .
The 'Aussie' tennis player put land in the middle in the face to face between both players after establishing a 3-1 in their favor.
