The news fell Monday evening on social networks. The former tennis world No.1, Garbine Muguruza, has announced the extension of her break which began at the end of January in the wake of a last disputed meeting on the side of Lyon against Linda Noskova (defeat 6-1, 6-4) .
“Spending time with family and friends has been really healthy and amazing, so I’m going to extend that time into the summer…wrote the 29-year-old player in a brief message posted on Instagram. So I will miss the clay and grass season. Thank you for all the lovely messages.”
Only 12 wins in 2022
The former winner of Roland-Garros (2016) and Wimbledon (2017) will miss important tournaments and continue her fall in the rankings. Which seems to be far from his current concerns. If she continues to train with her team to maintain her condition, she takes advantage of her free time to travel, go mountain biking and participate in various projects that are close to her heart, as can be seen on her account. Instagram.
Her last victory on the professional circuit dates back to last September, in Tokyo, against the Greek Despina Papamichail (6-4, 6-2). Last season, the Spaniard had only won 12 in 29 games. Weakened on a psychological level, the break with the competition that the Hispanic player had imposed on herself at the start of the year had become a necessary evil.
