Former World No. 1 Muguruza Not Yet Thinking About Tennis Comeback

Garbine Muguruza opted to take a break from tennis earlier this year, and she is not yet considering making a comeback.

Muguruza was quite open about her reasons for taking a break, and it was mostly due to fatigue. She had a terrible 2022 season and started 2023 with more disappointments, eventually just growing sick of competing on the WTA Tour.

She's not the only player who opted for a break. Bianca Andreescu and Amanda Anisimova both chose to leave the sport for an indefinite period as well, focusing on their mental health.

Life away from the courts has been good for Muguruza, as she has been enjoying the break from the stressful nature of being a tennis player. She enjoyed time at home, recovered well, visited places, and even got engaged.

There doesn't seem to be any desire to return to tennis and compete on the WTA Tour for Muguruza right now, even though she has always said that she was not retired and would make a comeback.

She confirmed in a recent interview with Spanish publication AS that she's still not thinking about returning to tennis as she's busy making plans she couldn't do while being an active player.

Any tennis plans are clearly on standby at the moment, so don't be surprised if Muguruza misses the start of the 2024 season as well. The last match she played was on January 30th at the Lyon Open, where Linda Noskova beat her in two sets.

This year, Muguruza has only played four matches and lost all of them. Her last win came on September 21st last year in Tokyo.
