Spain's world No. 3 Garbine Muguruza is relishing the prospect of getting revenge on Anastasija Sevatsova at the Pan Pacific Open and vowed on Monday to put "everything on the barbecue" for the final swing of the WTA Tour.
As the top seed, French Open winner Muguruza has a first-round bye at the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo and will open her campaign against either a qualifier or Latvian world No. 35 Sevatsova, who stunned her 7-5, 6-4 in the second round of the U.S. Open earlier this month.
"It has been hard preparation (for this tournament)," Muguruza said. "Because I lost in the U.S. Open early, I spent more time back at home practicing and getting ready for the last swing. You always want to finish the year with a better feeling so I am going to put everything on the barbecue, as we say.
