Garbiñe Muguruza does not lift his head: he says goodbye to the US Open at the first

Garbiñe Muguruza said goodbye to the first exchange of the US Open, fourth and last 'Grand Slam' of the season, after losing to the American Alison Riske in three sets (2-6, 6-1 and 6-3), what supposes a new varapalo after repeating the same action that in Wimbledon.

Muguruza, number 25 of the WTA, fell to Riske, number 36, in a match that began in the best possible way for the Spanish. From there he also accused the physicist after a recent injury to his right leg that could have taken its toll in the following rounds.

The push of the American tennis player was enough to equalize in the second set and, then, give the final thrust in the third round. For the second time in his career, Muguruza yields consecutively in the first round of a 'big'.

The Caracas player, who chaired her coach Sam Sumyk last July, relied on Anabel Medina for this tournament. But he has not been able to change the fate of a Muguruza that does not lift his head. His defeat says goodbye to a poor 2019 in the most important tournaments. In addition to the first round at Wimbledon and US Open, he reached the eighth in Australia and Roland Garros.

Muguruza tried to correct in the middle of the game, but it was too late. The consistent tennis of his rival ended up knocking down any possibility of reaction for her. Riske, which will be measured in the second round the Latvian Jelena Ostapenko, got wings and closed the game with authority after two more breaks in the service.
