Garbine Muguruza withdraws from BNP Paribas Open Indian Wells
WTAWednesday, 22 February 2023 at 07:00
Former World No.1 Garbine Muguruza has withdrawn from the upcoming WTA 1000 event in Indian Wells. Muguruza, who is now ranked at No 87 and set to exit the top-100 next Monday, started the 2023 season with four consecutive first-round losses.
In late January, Muguruza suffered a Lyon first-round defeat against Linda Noskova. After losing in Lyon and falling to a 0-4 record in 2023, Muguruza pulled out of Abu Dhabi, Doha and Dubai. Now, Muguruza is also out of the Indian Wells qualifying event.
Muguruza, a two-time Grand Slam champion, had a rough 2022 season, in which she went 12-17. After a difficult 2022 season, she also got off to a rough start to the 2023 season.
The Spaniard was in Abu Dhabi but then pulled out on the day of her first-round match due to personal reasons. Furthermore, her withdrawal from Doha "due to personal reasons" was probably an indication that Muguruza decided to take a break from tennis and do some reflecting and analysis before returning to action. It remains to be seen when will Muguruza be ready to play again

- I heartily disagree with Stubbs here. I mean c'mon! The whole idea of giving out wildcards is to give new & up-coming players a chance at getting as much circuit match-practice under their belts as possible. And this is a HUGE must and opportunity for these new kids on the block. Why curtail opportunities for these newbies in favour of stalwart monopoly?? That just isn't fair. At least give these lesser known players a chance to become more familiar at playing in bigger tournaments & give them also a chance of getting the crowds behind these underdogs.
