Garbinier Muguruza just wants not to get into the WTA TOP-100: “Everything changes quickly in tennis”

Having reached the 83rd place in the world ranking, Muguruza said that she wants to win her first victory this year and not leave the TOP-100 WTA.

“There have been so many moments in my career where I’ve been able to handle it, but also moments where I wasn’t ready for it. I’m trying to get back on top. Right now I’m focusing on training hard and trying to be humble. We may not have been as successful as we have been in recent years, but that’s okay because things can change very quickly.

In tennis, one week can go bad, the next week it can go well, and then everything changes again. I think this experience helps me stay calm in not so good moments, when I’m not feeling well or when there are no results.

I feel like this year I have to be calm and play easier. Last year I put myself under a lot of pressure, telling myself to keep on top all the time. It certainly didn’t help me and was a bit painful.

This year, yes, ranking is important – I’ve been to every possible place, but it’s not my priority anymore. Now I’m just enjoying my time on the pitch and bringing the trophies home, and then we’ll see what the rankings are.” Garbinier Muguruzacites Tennis Up To Date

Iberica was supposed to play in Abu Dhabi (WTA 500), but a penalty was announced before the match with Karolina Pliskova for personal reasons.

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 Linda Noskova in Lyon (1-6, 4-6).

The Iberian’s last win dates back to September 2022, when Garbine beat Despina Papamichael 6-4, 6-2 in the second round in Tokyo (she had a bye in the first round).

To find a positive balance of results, we need to go to the 2021 season, when Garbin had 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 that Muguruza won was at the end of the 2021 season, when the Iberian surprised and won the Tournament of Champions in Guadalajara 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).
