Garbiñe Muguruza announced last February that she needed to stop. “I will take a break from competition in the next few weeks. “I will continue working with my team to return to my tennis level and feel ready to compete again,” she said. The weeks passed and the Spanish tennis player showed no signs of returning. In May she denied that she was retiring. In September she said that she still didn’t know what she was going to do in 2024.
Her last interview was given to “Women’s Health” and the news is not very positive regarding her return to the slopes. “To this day I have no intention [respecto a la pregunta de qué intención tenía de volver a la competición]. My plan right now is to sleep, rest, be with my loved ones, make up for lost time… I don’t see beyond what I’m doing today, tomorrow and this week,” she answers. “Tennis has no place in my routine. I still pay attention to my teammates, from time to time I can play but not intensely but for fun. It doesn’t occupy my mind, my day or my routines, I’m really taking a real break and trying to stay away from the slopes,” she insists.
“Happy off the slopes”
He does seem to be in good physical shape and admits that he goes “to the gym regularly, the maximum number of times a week.” “I love doing weight training, completing my cardio part with Zumba, Pilates classes, yoga, boxing… I take the opportunity to do all those things that when I was training for tennis I didn’t have the time,” she reveals. “My motivation is always very high, but in a world as competitive as high-level tennis, I hold on very strongly to the fact that if I don’t train, my teammates and opponents will and they will beat me because they will be more prepared,” she says. Another answer is that she takes her away from the slopes, at least in the short term.
Of course, Garbiñe recognizes that he is “living this break very happily” since it was something that his “body” and his “mind needed” so he is “enjoying these moments a lot.”
The 1,038th in the world
The tennis player raised at the Bruguera Academy in Barcelona has just turned 30 years old. As she has barely played during the course, her drop in her ranking is being significant. She now herself is number 1,038 in the world. He became number one in the world for four weeks, between September and October 2017, and his record includes ten individual titles, including two Grand Slams: Roland Garros 2016 and Wimbledon 2017. He also played in the final at the All England Club in 2015 and in 2020, the Australian Open. Her latest success was winning the Masters Cup in 2021.
