Spanish star [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/garbine-muguruza/] Garbine Muguruza is in the midst of a career-defining resurgence. After being counted out by most tennis pundits courtesy of an abysmal 2019, Garbine Muguruza has shocked everyone by making it to the final 4 of the Australian Open 2020. However, Muguruza wouldn’t agree with the word abysmal to describe her recent past in tennis. She feels that her last two years were just relatively less successful. This response was triggered after a journalist described her revival as ‘coming back from a coma’ in the post-match press conference. Garbine Mugurza [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/images-9-55.jpeg] WHAT DID GARBINE MUGURUZA SAY? Muguruza looked offended by the comment made by the journalist. She said that a coma would be a strong word to describe her past two years. “I think a ‘coma’ is a pretty strong statement. I would say I think those years were less successful if you compare them to my previous years. That’s how I see it. I don’t see it at all as a coma. I just think you struggle as a player, and there are moments where things don’t go your way. You just have to be patient and go through the rough moments, just hang in there and it will come back again.” Know More – Garbine Muguruza In Danger Of Missing Australian Open 2020 After Falling Sick [https://www.essentiallysports.com/garbine-muguruza-in-danger-of-missing-australian-open-2020-after-falling-sick-tennis/] Well, Muguruza’s perspective towards her tough past is very interesting. 2019 was a rollercoaster for her. She exited the world’s top 20 for the first time in four years. In fact, things were so bad that at one stage she could win only one match in six tournaments. Things got harder as she split with her long time coach Sam Sumyk. Garbine Mugurza [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/images-10-53.jpeg] Her resurgence has coincided with a reunion with Conchita Martinez. In fact, she has already defeated the fifth seed Elina Svitolina [https://www.wtatennis.com/players/316738/elina-svitolina] and the ninth seed Kiki Bertens en route to the semi-finals. Interestingly, the Australian Open was the first major she has been unseeded at in 2014. She just needs to close out the grand slam in style. In the semifinals, she faces World No 3 Simona Halep. Do you think Muguruza can qualify for the finals? 

Garbine Muguruza described her poor 2019 as just a less successful year as
compared to a coma- a word that was used by a journalist post match.

<h2><strong>Australian Open: Latest News, Results and Records</strong></h2>
The Australian Open is the youngest of all the Grand Slams, having first started in 1905.

The tournament holds the record for the highest attendance at a Grand Slam event, where 743,667 people attended during the 2018 edition of the Australian Open. It also has the honor of being the first Grand Slam tournament to feature indoor play during wet weather or extreme heat.

There are three main courts, the Rod Laver Arena, the Melbourne Arena and the Margaret Court Arena. Aside from that, they have courts 7 to 15 and even court 19 and 20. The tournament first became open to all from 1969 onwards, a year after the remaining 3 did so.
