• Tennis Djokovic, low in Madrid

The Spanish Garbiñe Muguruza, who suffers from a muscle injury in her left leg, will not play the WTA 1,000 tournament in Madrid, in which she was going to make her debut against the American Sloane Stephens.

"The discomfort has returned and in the last resonance it has been confirmed that I have not recovered 100% to compete and the medical recommendation is to stop," the player said in a statement.

"This is the worst news and the most painful decision that any player has to make. We have been working to recover and be able to get to the tournament well, I came a week before to adapt because I really wanted to do well in Madrid, in my house and before my public ", adds Muguruza.

Muguruza was the tenth seed of a tournament in which he has never passed the round of 16.

He already withdrew from his last tournament, in Charleston (United States), due to discomfort in his left thigh.

"It is not an easy decision and it is a great disappointment for me," he says of his retirement.

After thanking the tournament for its effort to overcome the circumstances of the pandemic, he says: "Next year he will try again with even more enthusiasm."

The organizers of the Mutua Madrid Open reported this morning that "unfortunately" Garbiñe Muguruza had retired.

"Garbiñe, get well soon. It hurts as much as you do and we were very excited to see you play in the Magic Box again," they commented.

It is the second important loss in two days, after Serbian Novak Djokovic announced on Wednesday that he would not play in Madrid.
