Garbine Muguruza is a new name to know on the WTA. The 19-year-old from Spain won her first WTA title this year (in Hobart in doubles), which is sure to be the first of many. Since turning pro in 2011, she’s played her best in Miami, beating players such as Vera Zvonareva and Flavia Pennetta in 2012 and Caroline Wozniacki in 2013. In a few days, she’ll play in her first main draw match at Roland Garros, so get to know a little bit more about Garbi in this quick Q&A:

Q: What’s your most memorable career moment so far?
GM: When I won Wozniacki this year in Miami.

Q: Do you have any match superstitions?
GM: No superstitions.

Q: What do you never leave home without when you’re travelling to tournaments?
GM: I never leave my iPad and my phone.

Q: What do you like to do most when you’re home and/or not playing tennis?
GM: I like to go shopping and to the cinema.

Q: Since you like to cook, what are your favorite dishes to make (and eat)?
GM: I like to cook cakes and cookies, everything with sugar and of course to eat them.

Q: What music are you listening to right now?
GM: I listen to Shakira and Rihanna a lot.

Q: Finish this sentence: Before I turn 20, I want to _________________
GM: Enjoy more with my work.

Wishing Garbi buena suerte at the French Open!
