Early career
She turned pro in March 2012; at the age of 18 years and five months. Her first Grand Slam was the 2012 US Open, by the virtue of having a better ranking and not entering qualifying. She withdrew from the 2013 US Open due to an injury.

2014: First WTA title and Grand Slam quarterfinal
Her first singles title came at Brisbane. As a qualifier, she defeated Klara Zakopalova in the final. At the Australian Open, she was unseeded but made the fourth round to lose to Agnieszka Radwanska, the eventual semifinalist.

At the 2014 French Open, she caused an upset in the second round when she defeated defending champion and world number one Serena Williams 6-2, 6-2.

2015: Wimbledon Final
She started 2015 at world number twenty. She chose to not defend her title at Brisbane. She made the Australian Open fourth round but lost to Serena Williams, the eventual winner. Muguruza was able to repeat her 2014 French Open result with another spot at quarterfinals.

Muguruza is known for making the 2015 Wimbledon women's singles final. She started Wimbledon at world number twenty but rose to number nine by virtue of her making the final and having less points to defend. She is the second player to enter the top ten by cutting more than half; the first was Sara Errani in 2012.

2016
Muguruza's must-defend 2016 points are the Wimbledon points in 2015.
