Muguruza can be world’s best—Martinez

New Wimbledon champion Garbine Muguruza can be the best player in the world, says her coach Conchita Martinez. Muguruza beat American five-time champion Venus Williams 7-5 6-0 in Saturday’s final and is expected to rise to number five in the new world rankings today.

The 23-year-old is now a double Grand Slam champion, having won the French Open last year.

Muguruza was ranked 15th in the world before Wimbledon but both she and Britain’s Johanna Konta, who lost to Venus Williams in the semi-final, are expected to rise above former world number one Serena Williams, who is pregnant with her first child.
