LONDON: Garbine Muguruza is happy to steal the spotlight from fellow Spaniard Rafael Nadal as the French Open champion sets her sights on a return to the Wimbledon final. Nadal’s exploits traditionally hog the attention of tennis fans in Spain and across the world, but the 14-time Grand Slam winner is absent from Wimbledon this year due to the left wrist injury that forced him to pull out of the French Open. The 30-year-old’s decline has coincided with the rise of Muguruza and she appears to be relishing the limelight. “I thought about that the other day when I saw that Rafa was not playing,” Muguruza said. “For sure, people are looking more at what I’m doing, will be watching me more.”
