I'm going to write about Roger Federer and Garbiñe Muguruza. Both are very good tennis player, some of the best of the world.
ResponderEliminarOn the one hand, Federer was born in Basilea(Switzerland) in 1981. Now he lives in Wollerau. His personal trainers are Severin Lüthi and Ivan Ljubicic. He occupies the third position in the ranking ATP. In the previous comment I said that Rafa Nadal is the best in clay court and Roger Federer is the best on grass. Therefore Nadal wins more Roland Garros than Federer, and Federer wins more Wimbledon than Nadal. He is the eighth Wimbledon that he wins, this time against Marin Cilic(6-3,6-1,6-4). He was won only once Roland Garros, instead Nadal was won two times Wimbledon.
On the other hand, Muguruza was born in Caracas(Venezuela) in 1993. Now she lives in Ginebra (Switzerland). His personal trainers are Sam Sumik and Conchita Martinez.She is Venezuelan but she chose to represent Spain to dispute the tilts of the WTA and to form a part of the Spanish Team of the Federation of Tennis of the ITF. She won Roland Garros in 2016 against Serena Williams. This year she win Wimbledon against Venus Williams, who is the sister of Serena Wiliiams. She has won 4 WTA and 7 ITF. Venus said before the final that she was going to ask advices to his sister but his advices didn't serve because Muguruza win Wimbledon(7-5,6-0)
From my point of view, Wimbledon, Roland Garros, etc shouldn't be the same track. In other words, in Wimbledon should be others track, not alone tracks of grass in order to all the tennis player play in tracks that they are good and in other tracks where they aren't good.
ALVARO RUIZ RODRIGUEZ 1º BACHILLERATO
Roger Federer was born on 8 August 1981. He is a Swiss professional tennis player who is currently at the third position of the world ranking in men's singles tennis by the Association of Tennis Professionals. He has won 19 Grand Slam singles titles, the most in history for a male tennis player.
ResponderEliminarHe has recently won his eighth Wimbledon title and he has become the first tennis player who has achieved it. It is clear that he is the best tennis player playing on grass since he is the player who has more titles of Wimbledon, it is similar to Rafa Nadal, who is the best player at Roland Garros, that is, he is the best in clay court. In reference to the final match at this Wimbledon, I have read that it lasted less than two hours, which is a bit fast for this type of matches since in this game play the two best of the competition.
Garbiñe Muguruza is a Spanish professional tennis player, although she was born in Venezuela. She became professional in 2012.
This year, he has also won Wimbledon. He defeated Venus William at the final. In the second set, Venus William couldn't make any game, it's why she lost the set 6-0. Last year, Muguruza beat the sister of Venus, Serena Williams, in the final of Roland Garros. In two years he has won at the two sisters, who are the best of women tennis player.
Roger Federer, who is one of the greatest tenni´s players in history , was born on 8 August 1981 in Binningen, Switzerland. His father Robert is a Swiss national and his mother Lynette Durand was born in South Africa. This means he holds both Swiss and South African citizenship.
ResponderEliminarFederer won the Wimbledon boys' singles and doubles titles in 1998, and he turned professional later that year.At the beginning of 2004, Federer had a world ranking of No. 2, and that same year, he won the Australian Open, the U.S. Open, the ATP Masters and he retained the Wimbledon singles title.
He held on to his No. 1 ranking from 2004 into 2008. In July 2017, Federer set a new record, winning his eighth Wimbledon title in a 6-3,6-1,6-4 defeat of Marin Cilic. I think that Roger Federer is the best tenni´s player of all the times because of his 19 Grand Slam singles titles.
On the other hand, Garbiñe Muguruza was born in Caracas (Venezuela),on 8 October 1993. She has a spanish father (José Antonio Muguruza) and a Venezuelan mother (Scarlet Blanco).She has two elder brothers named Asier and Igor. Muguruza moved to Spain with her family at the age of six years and she trained at the Bruguera Tennis Academy near Barcelona.
This summer, Muguruza has won her first Wimbledon. She defeated Venus Williams at her second final of Wimbledon (7-5,6-0). Conchita Martínez and Garbiñe Muguruza are the only Spanish tenni´s players who have won Wimbledon. I hope these great tenni´s players continue to win tournaments and congratulations for their great victories this year.

Roger Federer is a Swiss professional tennis player who is currently ranked in the third position of the ATP ranking He has won 19 Grand Slam singles titles, the most in history for a male tennis player. He has held the first position in the ATP ranking for 302 weeks, the most in the history, but he has also held the first position for 237 consecutive weeks, the most in the history too. Federer turned professional in 1998
ResponderEliminarFederer has won a eight Wimbledon titles, five Australian Open titles, a record five consecutive US Open titles and one French Open title. He is among eight men to have captured a career Grand Slam and has reached a record 29 men's singles Grand Slam finals. Many players and analysts consider Federer the greatest tennis player of all time.
In my opinion Roger is by far the most talented player in the history, but not the best, I mean, he can put the ball where he wants, he doesn´t even have to hit the ball very hard to win, I think he can be playing tennis at the best level for 4 or 5 years more because his game-style is based on hit good points, and run as less as possible.
That´s the main differece beetwin Rafa and Roger, Rafa based his game on his physical, fight for every point, return all the balls, Rafa depends of his physical quality. In my opinion Rafa is what he is because of his such a strong mentality, his diary effort, his perseverance, his diary hard training, while Roger is pure talent, He was born to be the best

Roger Federer, who is from Switzerland, is one of the greatest tenni´s players in history, he holds both Swiss and South African citizenship. He has won 19 Grand Slam singles titles; He has also held the first position for 237 consecutive weeks, Federer turned professional in 1998. On the other hand, Muguruza was born in Caracas(Venezuela) in 1993. Now she lives in Ginebra (Switzerland). His personal trainers are Sam Sumik and Conchita Martinez.She is Venezuelan but she chose to represent Spain to dispute the tilts of the WTA and to form a part of the Spanish Team of the Federation of Tennis of the ITF. By time, he has also won Wimbledon. He defeated Venus William at the final.
ResponderEliminarAs far as I'm concerned Roger is by far the most talented player in the history, but not the best, I mean, he can put the ball where he wants, he doesn´t even have to hit the ball very hard to win.
Garbiñe Muguruza is a spanish tennis player ranked in the third position of the ATP ranking, she started her profesional carreer in 2012 and in only five years as a profesional tennis player she has won two grand slams, Roland Garros, in 2016, and Wimbledon a month ago.
ResponderEliminarShe is only 23 years of age, what if we compared her with Rafa at the age of 23?, I know it´s unfair because Rafa is a legend, but why not, she will surely be too, Rafa already had an olimpyc gold medal, six Roland Garros, he had already been number 1 in the world three years before. In summary and as almost everybody expected Rafa had gotten much more at his age.
I think Garbiñe will be a legend in tennis, She will be at the same level of Serena Williams or maybe even more, I´m completely sure that She will become number 1 this year, but I really hoped her to become number 1 in US open, but finally it hasn´t happenned, maybe next time
I think fast surfaces are perfect for her such an agressive game style, In my opinion She will have more success in fast surfaces than in clay surfaces for example, although she has won Roland Garros

ResponderEliminarHe recently won his eighth Wimbledon title and became the first tennis player to do so.
In my opinion I think he is a great tennis player and a good sportsman. But for me the number one is Rafa Nadal, these two are the greatest tennis players on the planet.

Garbiñe Muguruza is a Spanish tennis player ranked third in the ATP ranking, she began her professional career in 2012. Garbiñe has two Grand Slam championships (Roland Garros 2016 and Wimbledon 2017), two runners-up (Wimbledon 2015 and Australian Open 2020) and five WTA tournaments.In 2017, her best year to date and reaching number 1 in the world, she was named "Player of the Year" at the WTA and ITF Awards, and nominated for "Athlete of the Year" at the Laureus Awards.
ResponderEliminarRight now she is only 27 years old, so she has many years left at a high level, which all spectators, especially Spaniards, can enjoy.
Garbiñe has two great rivals who are always at a high level, they are the Williams sisters, they are magnificent athletes but for me Garbiñe is the best. In my opinion Garbiñe is one of the best in female tennis, she has an incredible hit and her speed in her legs and movements is impressive, I think we have the best tennis players in the world in the championship representing us and we cannot be more proud of them, since they have given us many happy moments and trophies.
Roger Federer for me is the most complete tennis player in the ATP. He is the king of the grass, with his 8 titles at wimbledon and 6 in Australia on hard court.
ResponderEliminarRoger at 39 years old continues to give a show on the track that is delightful. Now he has suffered a stage of injuries, it is normal since tennis is a sport of high physical effort and more at the level that he plays.
What I like the most about Federer is the elegant one-handed backhand, it's pure art to see that backhand.
The best matches I have seen for Roger was a wimbledon against Nadal in 2008, which this time Rafa won, but the other match was in Melbourne 2017, that for me was the match of the century, it was a non-stop to see points between Nadal and Roger.
For me he is the most complete tennis player in the world.
