The times when Garbiñe Muguruza (29 years old) was a formidable opponent seem to be over. Having reached the 82nd place in the WTA hierarchy, the Iberian was overtaken by 18-year-old Linda Noskova in the first round in Lyon.

The athlete from the Czech Republic won in two sets with a score of 6-1, 6-4, further deepening the crisis of the Iberian’s results.
Former world leader Muguruza is going through a dark period from a sporting point of view.
Garbinet’s last victory on the world circuit took place in September of last year (he has six losses in a row). At that time, in the second round of Tokyo (she had a bye in the first round), Muguruza beat Despina Papamichael (6-4, 6-2).
In 2023, the two-time winner of the Grand Slam tournaments could not defeat anyone, her appearances at the tournaments ended in unison in the first round.
She was defeated at WTA Adelaide 1 by Bianca Andreescu (6-0, 6-7(3), 1-6), at WTA Adelaide 2 by Belinda Bencic (3-6, 4-6), by Elise Mertens at Australian Open tournament (6-3, 6-7(3), 1-6), and now Linda Noskva in Lyon (1-6, 4-6).
To find a positive balance of results, you need to go to the 2021 season, when Garbigne has 42 wins and 17 losses.
Last year, the athlete from Spain had 12 wins and 17 losses, and the prize money for her level was modest: $715,469.
By the way, the last tournament won by Muguruza came at the end of the 2021 season, when the Iberian made a surprise and won the Guadalajara Tournament of Champions for the first time.
From that moment, the player’s career went down irreversibly, and now Muguruza is closer to leaving the TOP-100 WTA than to the first places.
During her career, Garbin won 10 tournaments, two of which are Grand Slam tournaments (Roland Garros 2016 and Wimbledon 2017).
