Exotic beaches take a back seat this WTA off-season: Muguruza climbs Kilimanjaro, Sharapova meets African wildlife

Garbine Muguruza’s crazy Kilimanjaro climb inspired me to write this post. WTA players typically choose luxury beach vacations for the off-season, but there are those who prefer to keep themselves active, or even extremely active. Let’s see what women’s tennis stars are doing this November.

Two-time Grand Slam champion Garbine Muguruza put on her Adidas gear and started a six-day expedition to the summit of Kilimanjaro.

It seems that the 2019 tennis season wasn’t hard enough for the Spaniard, as she chose to use her free time to cross waterfalls, rivers, icy rivers, caves, do-not-look-down cliffs and endure frozen nights.
