Nadal, Muguruza named ITF world champions

By Daily Sports on December 9, 2017

Spaniards Rafael Nadal and Garbine Muguruza were named as the International Tennis Federation (ITF) world champions on Friday.

It was the first time in 19 years the awards have gone to players from the same country. Nadal, who claimed the honour for the third time, made a sensational comeback from an injury-plagued 2016, winning a 10th French Open title and the U.S. Open.

The wins took his Grand Slam haul to 16, three behind Roger Federer who also won two of the year’s majors after returning from injury. The 31-year-old Mallorcan ended the year as world number one, although he pulled out of the season-ending ATP Finals in London due to a knee injury.

Muguruza won the ITF award for the first time after capturing the Wimbledon title and ascending to the world number one ranking for the first time.

She ended the year ranked number two behind Romania’s Simona Halep who is still chasing a first grand slam title. (Vanguard)
