This Saturday, April 20, 2024, Garbiñe Muguruza has surprised the tennis world with the announcement of her professional retirement. The Spaniard, who had not played since February 2023 to take a sabbatical year, has decided to put an end to her prestigious career at the age of 30.
In a very emotional press conference, which was picked up by Puntodebreak, Muguruza began by explaining the reasons for her decision: "The time has come to say goodbye. It has been a long, beautiful career, full of moments and anecdotes. I feel that the time has come to open a new chapter in my life.
Garbiñe has had a very outstanding career in the WTA circuit, highlighting her world number 1 and the two Grand Slam titles won at Roland Garros and Wimbledon. In addition, she was a finalist at both the Australian Open and the WTA Finals.
On when she made her decision, Muguruza has also been sincere in a press conference: "It has been little by little. These months have been key, when I decided to stop. I welcomed that break with open arms, and every day that passed I felt better. I didn't miss the discipline and the difficulty of the life I had before. It has been progressive.
Finally, on what will happen to her in the future, Garbiñe Muguruza concludes the press conference announcing her retirement as follows: "A thousand things (to do). I want to make up for some of that lost time. I have plans to start a family, get married, have a dog... I want to stay involved in the tennis world, with my sponsors...".
