Garbine Muguruza's breakout performances this season, from reaching the finals of Wimbledon and Wuhan, winning a title in Beijing, and now starting off strong at the WTA Finals, have made her a clear rising star in the tennis world. However, the activity on her social media accounts suggests that she may be becoming a celebrity outside of tennis circles.
Even before she appeared on the radar of many tennis fans, the Spaniard became an ambassador for Mazda Spain in June 2014 and for BBVA bank in December 2014. With on-court success came international partnerships, including an endorsement deal with the Adidas Barricade by Stella McCartney clothing line and summer appearances in magazines such as Elle (Spain).
