The Spanish Garbiñe Muguruza, who withdrew this Tuesday from the Brisbane (Australia) tournament due to cramps, attributed the problem to “the hardness of the game” and the hot and humid conditions, although she was “really surprised” by the reaction of her Body.
“Conditions in Brisbane are very different from California. But I think it was just the toughness of the game. Many good ‘rallies’, very intense, a lot of heat, humidity, and I don’t know… I don’t usually cramp a lot, so I’m really surprised that my whole body reacted like this today, ”said the world number two at the end of the meeting.
Muguruza resigned when she dominated the scoreboard 7-5, 6-7 (3) and 2-1 against Serbian Aleksandra Krunic. It was the first seed of the tournament.
«I felt troubled in the second set, when I was 2-0 up. I started to feel cramps in my calves and thought that with the game they might disappear. But they were increasing. And then I got cramps in a large part of my body, “explained the Spanish at a press conference.
“Was hot. I never thought of retiring until I couldn’t play, “he added.
«I know from the positive that we were playing very good points. She was playing very well. I was surprised by his level, and especially when he was losing. He came back very strong. It was a difficult match. I felt that I was playing at a good level, a good game, “he said.
Muguruza, who could have recovered the number one in the world rankings held by Romanian Simona Halep in Brisbane, did not plan to play another tournament until the Australian Open.
“I think I’m going to evaluate what options I have now, maybe play a little more,” he said. EFE
