Garbine Muguruza says she’s ready for battle as an evenly-matched group of women vie for tennis’ No.1 ranking in 2018.
The current No.2 and Wimbledon champion was enjoying the Queensland sunshine on Friday ahead of Sunday’s Brisbane International, where she will be top seed.

Five women took turns at the top of the charts and four different women won Grand Slams in 2017, with the Spaniard tipping another close season about to commence.
“I think everybody is looking for that,” the Venezuelan-born talent said of her desire to establish herself as the permanent No.1.
“It’s tough; everyone is at an equal level and is very consistent, so it’s really like a war in the women’s field.”
The 24-year-old finished the season narrowly behind Simona Halep, who begins her season as world No.1 at China’s Shenzhen Open.
