"Nice to see Garbine Muguruza prioritizing her mental well being and extending her time away from the game to be around friends and family. She plans on returning this summer following the grass court season. Wish her all the best."

"I think this is good for her. She was so unhappy on court so for her mental health best to take the time away to recharge and decide when and if she wants to return to a sport she once loved. Anyone watching could see how uncomfortable and unhappy she was on the court lately."
