Muguruza to miss clay and grass seasons to spend more time with family

Two-time Grand Slam champion Garbine Muguruza says she’s taking an extended break from the sport and will miss the clay and grass-court seasons.

The Spaniard pulled out of the Abu Dhabi event in February, coting personal reasons, and in a social media post on Monday, explained that she would continue to take time to recover.

Considering that both her Grand Slam titles came on clay and grass – at the French Open in 2016 and Wimbledon in 2017 – it’s a big statement by Muguruza.

The former world No 1 has lost all four of her matches in 2023, including a first-round exit at the Australian Open.
