To be back in a Grand Slam is always difficult, so I’m excited with the way I’m playing.” Third seed Muguruza, 24, faces Belgium’s Alison Van Uytvanck or Slovenia’s Polona Hercog in the second round.
Defending champion Garbine Muguruza made quick work of Naomi Broady to qualify for the next round of Wimbledon in straight sets of 6-2, 7-5.
