Williams indicated she had a virus and stated that she was not feeling well before the match. As the match progressed, her symptoms became worse. An unfortunate outcome for both players. While some might see this as a stroke of luck for Muguruza, no real competitor wants to advance this way. In press, Muguruza commented: “It’s really a weird feeling, because I don’t feel like I won the match point and well done, you know, good match.”
[2] Simona Halep d. [Q] Kateryna Kozlova 7-6(3) 7-5
Despite her No.2 position, Halep seems to still be a bit under the radar.
