Winning her 47th WTA singles, Venus Williams took her winning at Wuhan in her stride.
She beat Spain’s Garbine Muguruza in just two sets with scores of 6-3 and 3-0, after which Muguruza voluntarily retired. Garbine was suffering from an ankle injury, while Venus had a pulled thigh muscle while playing.
This necessitated frequent breaks for both players, till Muguruza could’nt take the pain any more. Muguruza said “I’m very sorry to have had to retire, but sometimes the body just doesn’t recover.”
