Tennis fans were left disheartened after Garbine Muguruza, who is on a tennis hiatus, revealed that she currently has no intention of making a comeback.
In April this year, Muguruza announced that she would be taking an extended break from tennis following her poor run of form. The Spaniard was handed defeats in all her four fixtures from this season. In fact, she hadn’t won a single match since her Japan Open second-round win against Greece’s Despina Papamichail in September 2022.
In a recent interview with the Women’s Health magazine, Muguruza conveyed that she has been enjoying her time away from the sport. She also revealed that she currently has no intention of making a competitive return.
The former World No. 1’s admission came as a big blow to tennis fans, who were awaiting her return. Several interpreted her comments as an indication of her imminent retirement and sent their well wishes.
Another fan drew similarities between Garbine Muguruza taking a break and American tennis player Amanda Anisimova distancing herself from tennis. Anisimova announced an indefinite break from tennis in May this year, citing burnout and mental health concerns.
