Garbine Muguruza posted on her Instagram about her engagement to model Arthur Borges. The Spanish star opened up about how the pair first met in New York. She also said how the look of New York model captured her imagination.
After two years, the Roland Garros winner finally announced her official engagement to her Instagram followers. She then said, revealing the romance of the moment her fiancé proposed to her: “It felt weird. I was thinking about something else and then when he proposed, I started crying.
I didn’t know how to react. I said say yes through tears. It was very romantic.”
Mugura out of the clay and the grass season
January 30, 2023 was the last official match played by Muguruza. The former world number one and two-time Grand Slam champion played in the first round of the Lyon tournament, losing to young Linda Noskova, then no other official appearances for the Spanish tennis player.
That lost match will be the last played for a long time yet: the Spanish tennis player will not play any tournament on clay or grass. “I am spending time with family and friends. It has been very healthy and fantastic, so I will extend this period until the summer.
As a result, I will skip the clay and grass stages,” wrote the Grand Slam champion on Instagram. Following the message sent, Muguruza could return directly to the second North American part of the Tour: after Wimbledon, she could come back to Canada or directly to the United States for the fourth and final Grand Slam tournament, the US Open.
The Spanish tennis player had decided to skip Indian Wells and Miami in order to find herself and her game again. “I will be taking a break from competing for the next few weeks. My team and I will continue to work on getting back to my tennis level and I will return when I feel I am ready to compete again.
Last year I put too much pressure on myself, I was obsessed with winning matches and constantly staying on top,” she said in an interview with MARCA. An absence that also led to a collapse in the ranking: after winning the 2021 WTA Finals, the results came less and less, leading the Spanish tennis player to leave the top 100.
“At this point in my career, ranking isn’t cru
cial, even though I know I have to bring matches home to improve a bit. Anyway I try not to think about it, I think the best thing is to enjoy my time on the pitch and try to win the titles,” she said in an interview with The National.
