The Spaniard wins just seven points in a set and repeats the disaster with Roland Garros
Disastrous and inexplicable. It’s the only way to define what Garbiñe Muguruza did at Wimbledon this Wednesday. The Spaniard returned to court, tasked with overcoming an unfavorable set after her match was interrupted on Tuesday due to lack of light and she won just six points from Grett Minnen (6-4 and 6-0).
Muguruza needed a comeback and found himself sinking, which is becoming more common. It is the first time in her sports career that she says goodbye in the first round of Roland Garros and Wimbledon, the places where she dressed as champion. He had never lost in either major since his debut in 2013, and in his entire career he has made just two debuts linked to defeat at Wimbledon and the 2014 US Open and at Wimbledon and the US Open in 2019.
The defeat confirms the dark moment for the Spaniard, who left the field yesterday with a set-down against Minnen after giving away her serve with a very easy volley for a player like her. There were a lot of expectations going into this Wednesday’s resumption as Muguruza, still in the top ten, needed a good tournament to make up for the season, but what happened was a catastrophe. He won just seven points in total, only one with the Belgian’s service, and gave up his own three times. His passage through the track did not even reach 20 minutes. Muguruza left London with the first ‘donut’ of his career at Wimbledon and until now he had only added this result at Roland Garros and Australia.
The season of the pupil of Conchita Martínez is black, with eight wins and 11 losses. He has won just one Grand Slam match, his best result being the Doha quarterfinals and of the last 12 matches he has won just three. The win in the last Masters Cup saves her in the standings for now, but with her current pace, it seems impossible for the Spanish to repeat her presence in the year-end event. His position in the ‘race’ is 48, with just 587 points, 1,300 behind Switzerland’s Belinda Bencic, who closes the cut for the eight best in the world. “I am confident that I can turn this around,” he assured at a press conference.
