Garbine Muguruza, lacking match play on grass, is looking to use the momentum from her French Open victory at Wimbledon.
The 22-year-old reached the Wimbledon final a year ago, falling to Serena Williams in straight sets. This year, she comes in having just won her first Grand Slam, but also having suffered a first-round defeat in Mallorca in her only match on grass.
The Spaniard says has been training on the surface since her defeat to Kirsten Flipkens in Mallorca.
"It's obviously very hard. I think it's one of the most difficult switch of surface," she said in pre-Wimbledon press. "I didn't have enough time to concentrate another tournament basically. I didn't had enough hours of practice on grass. But yeah, I've been practicing hard for a Grand Slam, obviously, but better."
She insisted that becoming a Grand Slam champion had not changed her approach to the tournament, saying, "I think the same. Nothing has changed for me to look at Wimbledon different."
"I'm playing good, I won a lot of confidence," she said of the French Open victory, but added that at Wimbledon, "I'm going for the first match, like everyone else, from zero. And yeah, not thinking about that."
With Wimbledon coming just three weeks after the French Open, Muguruza has not had much time to dwell on her win.
"I didn't do actually a lot of things. I went home for a couple of days, went to Mallorca, practice. I took my family to Mallorca also. We stayed here two or three days," she said.
The tournament doubled as a family vacation and home tournament, even if it was on an odd surface for the clay-dominant nation.
"We were not sure we were in Spain," she joked, but added, "I was so happy that [after the] French Open the next tournament was in Spain. I felt so good. The crowd was there a lot with me."
It's not unusual for Mallorca to play host to a French Open champion, though it has usually been local Mallorcan Rafael Nadal.
But Muguruza is adapting to being a champion as well.
"But I was so happy, finally this year, I'm like, I did better than Nadal in French Open," Muguruza said. "I'm like, this is so weird."
