Garbiñe Muguruza, 2-time Grand Slam champion, gets engaged to fan who asked for selfie in NYC

Two-time Grand Slam champion Garbiñe Muguruza is marrying a man who shot his shot two years ago.

The 2016 French Open and 2017 Wimbledon champion announced her engagement to Arthur Borges over the weekend via Instagram, complete with "Jerry Maguire" quote caption.

The backstory here is something you don't often see in professional athletes' personal lives.

As Muguruza told HOLA! Spain last week, she first met Borges when he asked her for a selfie as a fan on the street in New York City during the 2021 US Open:

“My hotel was close to Central Park and I was bored, so I thought I should go for a walk,” she said in Spanish, reminiscing about the first time they met.
