Wimbledon champion Garbine Muguruza hailed her climb to World No. 1 for the first time as a "dream come true" as the Spaniard will top the new WTA rankings on Monday.
Karolina Pliskova's US Open quarter-final defeat to US 20th seed Coco Vandeweghe on Wednesday ensured two-time Grand Slam winner Muguruza will become the 24th woman to top the rankings in WTA history. "It is a dream come true, something I always wanted since I was small," said Muguruza on Twitter.
"None of it would be possible without my family, my fans, my team, who are at the grindstone with me every day. I want to thank them a lot for their support. I am here thanks to them so I hope to maintain this for as long as possible," she added.
