Tennis star Garbine Muguruza (29) announced her engagement to boyfriend Arthur Borges a few days ago with a post on Instagram. In an interview with “Hola!” The two-time Grand Slam winner (French Open 2016 and Wimbledon 2017) tells how she once met her future husband.

The Spaniard was in New York for the 2021 US Open and was walking through the world-famous Central Park out of boredom when she ran into Borges on the street. He came out as a fan: “Suddenly he turns around and says, ‘Good luck at the US Open,'” Muguruza recalled. Then he asked her for a selfie.

“Wow, He’s So Handsome”

For the tennis player, it was love at first sight: “I just thought ‘Wow, he’s so handsome’. As a result, the lovebirds saw each other more often and fell in love.

Almost two years later, the application follows, in Marbella Borges kneels before his lover. “I didn’t know how to react. I said yes in tears, it was very romantic,” says Muguruza enthusiastically. The wedding is scheduled for next year.

Sportingly it is currently quiet at Garbine Mugurza. She took a hiatus early in the season due to the excessive pressure and has not yet returned to the tour. Financially you don’t have to worry about the 29-year-old: in her career she has already won almost $ 25 million in prize money. (byl)
