Can you do any sport really well? Would you like to do it professionally? It may seem easy to you to swim, run or throw a ball for a job. However, to compete at a high level, you must start young and you have to practise for many hours every day for years before you’ll be ready to enter important competitions. If you fall over, get tired or injure yourself, you mustn’t give up. This might be why only a few people became professional. Garbine Muguruza made it. In 2016, when she was 22 years old, she won the French Open, one of the sport’s most important competitions.

Garbine was born in Venezuela in 1993. She could hold a racket when she was three, so she started playing tennis. When her family moved to Spain in 1999, she went to a special tennis school, and in 2012 she entered her first professional competition. Two years later, in 2014, she won a competition for the first time.

Garbine loves playing tennis, but she thinks that tennis players needn’t spend all their time thinking about tennis. ‘I like to listen to music, hang out with family and friends, dance, and sing.’ She is sometimes unhappy that she can’t live a normal life. Recently, she couldn’t go on holiday with her friends because she needed to play tennis. So why does she do it? Garbine says that she is just a normal girl with a dream. And that is to be number one!
