In an inspired run, Puig overturned No.4 Garbine Muguruza and upset the world no. 2 Angelique Kerber in the finals to capture the first gold Olympic medal of Porto Rico in history.
Since her retirement, Puig has returned to Puerto Rico many times to provide help after Hurricane Maria destroyed the island in September 2017. Puig and Maria Sharapova flew to Puerto Rico giving supplies and help to her island at home.
Puig also run marathon, competed in Triathalons and played Legends Events in the Slams when she is not busy working as a tennis television analyst.
