Garbine Muguruza, a former Wimbledon winner, has announced that she will take a long vacation from tennis until the summer.
The former world number one from Spain has only played four matches this year and hasn't been seen since January.
The 29-year-old, who plummeted to 132nd in the world, expressed her disappointment and that she would miss the clay and grass court seasons.
Spending time with loved ones has been wonderful and beneficial, so Muguruza continued, "I'm planning to extend this period till summer."
She topped the rankings in 2017 and was in third place at the end of 2021, but she failed to advance past the quarterfinals of a tournament in 2018.
In 2016, Muguruza won her first Grand Slam championship at the French Open and the Wimbledon.
