The Spanish Garbiñe Muguruza announced this Wednesday her withdrawal from the tournament tennis from Sydney (Australia) due to a right adductor injury suffered during his debut against the Dutch Kiki Bertens.
After his victory, 6-3 and 7-6 (6) in the second round, Garbiñe Muguruza informed the organization that he could not continue competing in the event.
“From the beginning of the match I felt pain in my adductor,” explained the reigning Wimbledon champion in statements provided by the WTA. “I already felt it in Brisbane (when he retired due to cramps) and I thought that today he would be much better, but the pain has returned,” lamented the first seeded.
Garbiñe Muguruza, who received medical attention after the third game, assured that during the stake he had to modify “the style of play and the tactics.” She was “more aggressive” in trying to cut the points and thus certified her progress to the quarterfinal round to the detriment of Kiki Bertens.
It will not, however, be able to compete for a place in the semi-finals. Five days before the Australian Open begins, Garbiñe Muguruza has preferred to withdraw from the Sydney tournament.
“After consulting with the tournament doctors and with my team, I have decided that it is better to stop. I’ve had discomfort since I started training here in Sydney, but I wanted to play. Unfortunately, during today’s game the pain has been there all the time and it has prevented me from playing comfortably. I have to stop so that it does not go to more, “said Muguruza in a statement.
Physical problems are weighing on the Spanish at the start of the season.
She withdrew due to cramps from her first match of 2018, corresponding to the second round of the Brisbane tournament against Serbian Aleksandra Krunic. That hasty goodbye, when they had to face the fourth game of the third set (5-7, 7-6 and 1-2), led her to request an invitation to the Sydney event, which was not initially on her calendar.
He wanted to add minutes on the track to get more shot at the Australian Open, but the adductor injury reappeared.
The Spanish, third in the world ranking, has a narrow margin for recovery. The first Grand Slam of the season begins on the 15th. This Thursday, according to his press office, he will travel to Melbourne.
The tennis player hopes “to evolve favorably to play the first Grand Slam of the year.” EFE
