Garbiñe Muguruza has confirmed that she will appreciate playing in lower category tournaments, such as the WTA 500 and 250and she has to face it with humility after she was almost relegated to position 81 in the world rankings after her trip to Belgian Elise Mertens (26) in the Australian Open premiere.
“I need to make a proper calendar with my rank. I’ll try to play the best tournaments too but when I can’t, I’ll look at other lower ones. I will appreciate this kind of contests”, he said after losing a tight 6-3, 6-7(3) and 6-1 in the match where he ended up with physical problems due to the tension and heat that reached 34 degrees.
“I think it was a mixture of tension and exhaustion. Physically I noticed a slowdown and he went up”, he commented in reference to the third set which took place after the Spaniard squandered a service game to close out the match at 6-5 in the second set.
“The truth is that the main moments cost me. I start playing well and then I don’t show the highest level. It is necessary to close these types of moments definitively”, he explained by self-criticism.
