MADRID — Garbine Muguruza is looking forward to becoming one of the first to play night matches on grass when a new tournament in Mallorca starts in June, the Spanish world number three said on Thursday.
The event, to be staged the same week as the Aegon Classic in Birmingham, England, will give players a chance to hone their grass skills before Wimbledon starts at the end of June.
It is being staged by E|motion Management, the same company that runs the ATP grass event in Stuttgart, Germany, and Mallorca organizers say it will feature night matches on the surface for the first time.
