Garbiñe Muguruza, the prominent Spanish tennis star and former World No. 1, recently announced the joyous arrival of her son, Marcos Borges Muguruza, marking a significant milestone in her life. The announcement came via social media, where she shared that their “little miracle” entered the world one week prior to her post.
Muguruza, a two-time Grand Slam champion, gained global recognition when she triumphed at the French Open in 2016 and Wimbledon in 2017. This week not only celebrates her new role as a mother but also serves as a reminder of her past triumphs, including her run to the Australian Open final just six years ago.
Since stepping away from the WTA Tour in April 2024, Muguruza has remained active in the tennis community. She took on the role of Tournament Director for the WTA Finals and is set to co-direct the upcoming Mutua Madrid Open alongside Feliciano Lopez in April 2026. This involvement demonstrates her commitment to the sport and her desire to contribute to its future.
Muguruza’s personal life took a joyful turn when she married Arthur Borges, a businessman and model, in October 2024. Their love story began unexpectedly during the 2021 US Open in New York’s Central Park, where Borges, a tennis enthusiast, recognized the star and requested a selfie with her. The couple’s connection has blossomed since that serendipitous encounter.
Looking ahead, Muguruza has been active in media as well, hosting “VIP Tennis Lounge with Garbiñe Muguruza” for the Tennis Channel in 2025, where she engaged with rising stars such as Carlos Alcaraz, Aryna Sabalenka, and Coco Gauff in a more informal setting.
The arrival of baby Marcos marks a new chapter in Muguruza’s life, blending her passion for tennis with the joys of motherhood. As she transitions to this new role, her fans around the world eagerly anticipate her future endeavors both on and off the court.
