Year in detail

Grass Court Series

Birmingham Classic Despite falling out of top 10 following French Open, Muguruza started strong grass court campaign with semifinal showing at Birmingham Classic. She beat Elizaveta Kulichkova and Alison Riske before winning against CoCo Vandeweghe, the same player she lost convincingly at Australian Open, with Vandeweghe retiring after losing second set. In the semifinal she lost to Ashleigh Barty in three sets.

Aegon International In Eastbourne Muguruza lost in shocking way to Barbora Strýcová with winning only one game and being broken six times. Match lasted only one hour.

Wimbledon Championships At Wimbledon Muguruza was non-top 10 seed for the first time at Major since 2015 Wimbledon, at fourteen. But being now underdog again, Muguruza showed once again quality tennis worth of a Grand Slam title, and she captured her first Wimbledon title beating Ekaterina Alexandrova, Yanina Wickmayer, Sorana Cîrstea, world No. 1 Angelique Kerber, No. 8 Svetlana Kuznetsova, Magdaléna Rybáriková and five-time champion Venus Williams, respectively. The only set she dropped was first set in match against Kerber. Muguruza's second Grand Slam titled propelled her again into top 10 at No. 7.
