What Really Happened to Garbiñe Muguruza?
Garbiñe Muguruza was poised to take over women's tennis after Serena Williams but faced several challenges. She reached the Wimbledon final in 2015 and won the French Open in 2016, defeating Serena Williams. In 2017, she won Wimbledon again, this time against Venus Williams, and became world number one. However, her success was short-lived as she struggled with injuries and motivation, leading to a decline in performance. By 2018, she dropped out of the top 10 and continued to face difficulties, including splitting with her longtime coach. Although she had a brief resurgence in 2020 and 2021, her performance significantly declined in 2022, leading her to take a break from tennis. Muguruza's struggles may be attributed to loss of motivation, changed priorities, and finding the right team. Despite her challenges, she has had a successful career with two Grand Slam titles and hopes to return to form in the future.
