Garbiñe Muguruza's 2019, unless there is an unthinkable turn, will appear in his biography as a year to forget. It is said soon, but the Spanish-Venezuelan turns 109 days Tuesday without winning a game of tennis. The last time he won was in the third round of Roland Garros , back on May 31 . Svitolina (current world number 3) was imposed by a double 6-3. Since then, nothing.
In the past morning, Garbiñe reel to his very bad streak and fell again in its premiere in a tournament , Osaka (Japan), after losing to Hsieh Su-wei (33 of the world) in three sets (3-6, 7-6, 6-1). At the beginning of his Asian tour he curled the curl: he fell after wasting a match ball in the second set.
It is the fourth tournament followed in which Garbiñe fails to overcome the first round . He did not do it in Wimbledon (he lost with Brazilian Beatriz Haddad Maia , 99 of the world, 6-4 and 6-4); neither in Cincinatti (with the American Madison Keys , 16th in the ranking, 6-7 (4) 7-6 (5) and 6-4); lost again at the start of the US Open (with also American Alison Riske , 32 world, 2-6 6-1 6-3). To all of them we must add this Osaka.
The former world number one has not won a match, since May 31. With the aggravating, this time, that he had in his hand to change this dynamic. With 3-3 on the scoreboard of the first set, Garbiñe won the following seven games to score that first set and place 3-1 in the second. He lost that advantage, but still, he got a match ball with 6-5. He lost it, lost the tie-break and disappeared from the game. Garbiñe broke up in July with his coach, Sam Sumyk , and since then he works with Anabel Medina .
