However, who would have thought that Gregoria would appear in the final in poor condition due to a thigh muscle problem.
“I had a cold at the Swiss Open and at the Spain Masters, my thighs began to tighten in their muscles, as if they were being pulled. But I try to focus on thinking about one thing at a time,” said Gregoria.
Even though she appeared with problematic thigh muscles, Gregoria still managed to look extraordinary throughout this championship.
