Garbine Muguruza’s defection from tennis
Former World’s No.1, Garbine Muguruza, struck the tennis world like nothing before. The grueling schedule and immense pressure placed upon players have led to accomplished athletes like Barty and now Muguruza contemplating early retirements. As Badosa emphasized, their departures are not mere coincidences but symptoms of a system that relentlessly pushes its athletes to their physical and mental limits.
The toll on a two-time Grand Slam champion, Muguruza, should be a wake-up call for the WTA. Her decision to step away from the sport in pursuit of much-needed rest and time with loved ones highlights an important issue. The sacrifices that players make are something that needs to be talked about. The toll on mental health, as exemplified by Osaka’s challenges, becomes more evident when seen in the context of this demanding schedule.
