Muguruza: "The pressure of that Masters diminished me"

Date:

Garbiñe Muguruza will be conducted over the ten days the American tour will lead to US Open of tennis and where he hopes to make a good tournament that will give him the “changing sensations” he is looking for, after the first half of the year without good results.

San Jose, Toronto and Cincinnati These are the appointments he will approach “with motivation and desire” in preparation for the Open, which he refers to as “the‘ full ’Grand Slam”.

“I look forward to coming back with a better feeling from this tour, with better tennis and a better face. You know that I’m not the best always, I keep on streaks, sometimes better I play and sometimes not much, and we hope that now that will change, ”said Muguruza, who on his last tour appearance was eliminated in his first match at Wimbledon.

“After Wimbledon I had a couple of tough days because I didn’t end up with a good feeling. But then I thought: that’s it, there’s still six months of the season and we’ll do it. Feelings can change quickly when it’s good “I’m excited and want to continue playing. The good thing about tennis is that every week there is a tournament and everything can change next week”, assured the Spanish tennis player.

Muguruza said he was trying to regain the tennis he finished last year, when he won the Masters tournament.

“Maybe that’s what’s holding me back, constantly comparing myself to that moment. I have to forget a bit, play and that’s it. The pressure is diminishing on me,” he admitted.

That a game doesn’t come out “after all the training and suffering” is a “offensive” feeling, but he remembers that this work is never in vain “because it will come out again”.

Muguruza referred to the words of Paula Badosa after losing at Wimbledon, when he commented that he could not expect Rafael Nadal.

“I still have a few years of experience and I like that pressure in a certain way. Although I feel like people have high expectations and, when they see that things are not good for me, they wonder what happened. It’s a double-edged sword, “he pointed out.

The Caracas -born tennis player remembers “there are a lot of very good women” on the circuit, and that’s why the names of the winners change with each tournament.

“In the boys there are three aliens and the others are very good, but there is a big difference. In the girls there are many very good. In the final of Wimbledon we saw two new girls in the finale. There are many chances to win, “he said.

About the fight between Nadal and Novak Djokovicwinner at Wimbledon, for topping the list of winners of the most Grand Slams, Muguruza commented that he always wanted “the best was Nadal, but Djokovic,” he warned, “looked very strong, perhaps fresher physically . “

“It hurts,” he said of Nadal’s state of health, “because he understands what he’s going through.

Muguruza revealed that he met Nadal one day at the Wimbledon gym and the winner of the 22 ‘majors’ encouraged him to “change the dynamics” and reminded him that “a good tournament” completely changes the perspective.

The number nine player in the world, the winner of Roland Garros in 2016 and Wimbledon in 2017, participated on Tuesday in a promotional act with employees of Caserone of his sponsoring companies, and before rallying with the four of them he told them: “You already know that in sport sometimes you win and sometimes you don’t, there is a good tournament and another not so good … It’s part of my day and I don’t want to stay in a bad mood, so I’m thinking about my next tournament ”.

“It’s important to be appreciated by people who are hard to compete with, to be exposed to the whole world who sees you when you’re not doing well. It’s no secret,” he added.
