PARIS — Garbine Muguruza proved that last year's impressive performance at the French Open was no fluke when she repeated her run to the quarter-finals on Monday but she is hungry for more.
Muguruza advanced with a 6-3 6-4 win over 28th-seeded Italian Flavia Pennetta and her claycourt skills suggested she has what it takes to become the first Spanish woman to triumph at Roland Garros since Arantxa Sanchez in 1998.
"The other day we were talking in the locker room because she was there. She was giving me some advice. You have to listen to a champion like Arantxa," Muguruza told a news conference.
