Former Wimbledon and French Open Champion’s Hiatus Yields Fruits as a Myriad of ‘Activities’ Allows Her to Live Life to the Fullest

A professional tennis career is built with hard work, strength, and consistent preparations for multiple events. In between this loop of tours, it might become hard for players to take time off for their personal lives, leading to a break. Spanish-Venezuelan tennis player Garbine Muguruza has been on this break for a while now, and recent updates from her life outside tennis came out to be quite surprising.

The end-of-year 2022 wasn’t as the fans expected it would be for Muguruza. From being ranked at No. 3 internationally, she dropped to No. 55, which undoubtedly remains disappointing for a player like her. Entering in 2023 with a disturbing score of 0-4, she decided to go on a sabbatical and has been out off the court since then. Recently, the 30-year-old came up to speak about her current life, the things she is keeping up with, and her possibility of being back.

Garbine Muguruza embracing a new life out of the courts

Garbine Muguruza’s departure from the tennis circuit happened almost a year ago. She has been enjoying a new life outside professional sports for a significant period. While fans were expecting news about her comeback, a different update came up to their surprise. The Spanish tennis star shared details about her break from tennis and about how she is enjoying her life and staying out of her professional career.

According to Muguruza, she has kept herself involved in activities that have allowed her to explore her passions and interests. She mentioned, “I absolutely enjoy lifting weights and balance it out with some Zumba, Pilates, yoga, and even boxing for cardio. It’s great to have the time for all these activities that I couldn’t do when I was training for tennis.”

While the former World No. 3 moved ahead with her revelations, she mentioned her body has changed drastically ever since she has taken a step back from her professional career. She addressed trying to stay in shape, though, unlike her playing times, there is no requirement to push herself to the extreme limits.

The tennis star’s revelation about her current fitness and life schedule was a sidelined answer to what the fans actually wanted to hear. However, she also shared her thoughts about getting back on the courts.

Garbine Muguruza’s uncertain response about being back to tennis

Coming to the point that the fans eagerly waited to be unveiled, Garbine Muguruza also talked about her return to the courts. As of now, the 30-year-old seems satisfied with her life outside the tennis world. She made it clear that she doesn’t pay any attention to her tennis ranking, which has evidently fallen down to 1,038 in the world. Her long break from the sport seems to last even longer as she stated, “Right now, I have no plans of coming back.” 

This response leaves the tennis world and her loyal fans with uncertainty about whether and when she might decide to make a comeback. While Muguruza’s focus has shifted towards enjoying life to the fullest, the tennis world awaits her return to the courts, expecting to witness her talent and competitive spirit once again.
