'I go out and I run into him on the street. Suddenly, he turns and says, 'Good luck at the US Open.' I was left thinking, 'Wow, he's so handsome',' Mr Muguruza recalled.

The pair then continued to meet and started more time together, often with walks around Central Park. The former tennis champion said her attraction to Borges comes from the fact that he isn't involved in tennis at all and instead works in the fashion industry.
