Early Thursday morning she stopped by the microphones of Cadena Ser’s ‘El Larguero’ to review the current situation in tennis and to reveal what she feels about the sport at the moment.

The winner of two Grand Slams commented on Manu Carreño’s program that returned to enjoy a great tennis event for the first time like the one held in Paris. “I was there, I will also be at Wimbledon. I am still very involved in tennis. I competed for 13 years in Roland Garros and it’s the first time I’ve had a good time. I went and said ‘wow, the club is really nice, there are even trees,” Garbiñe began.
The former tennis player, who has embraced the literary field as a columnist for El Mundo, tells what it was like to experience a Grand Slam from the inside and the differences there are to experiencing it as a spectator. “You notice things that, when you are overwhelmed by competition, seem ugly. I got there and saw how beautiful the track was and everything surrounding the tournament. I had a great time because I have a different perspective“said the winner of Roland Garros in 2016.
Although she is once again related to tennis, the Caracas-born woman’s fatigue with the sport of racquet reached an unexpected point. He even revealed that he went more than a year without watching a single game. “I didn’t even check the Flashscore (sports results application)”. With his new job as a columnist, in which for example he wrote about Rafael Nadal, and the loss of that tension that competition infringes, Muguruza feels that passion for tennis again.

On the other hand, The tennis player analyzed the next great rivalry that is expected in tennis during the next decade. Carlos Alcaraz y Jannik Sinner They are the two players destined to share the Grand Slams in the coming years. Without going any further, the two Grand Slams, Australian Open and Roland Garros, have fallen into the clutches of both young people who occupy positions 1 (Sinner) and 3 (Alcaraz) in the ATP ranking.
Muguruza highlighted the differences between the two players that were measured in the semifinals of the French tournament. Firstly, the Spaniard reflected the intensity of the El Palmar player. “Carlos was half injured and little by little he gained confidence. I thought Zverev was dangerous, after seeing how he beat Nadal, but Alcaraz is one of a kind. I get excited when he sticks out his fist and yells ‘Gooooo!'”.
Regarding the comparison between both players, Muguruza indicated that the Italian is “super calm, like a wall” and if you watch a game played by the number 1 in the world you are not sure what the result was because of its coldness. On the other hand, Alcaraz is the antonym and always appears more “euphoric”.
What is clear is that they are the generational replacement of Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic and she was surprised by the regularity of both at a young age. “They are the ones who are going to dominate. They are so young and have won so much. For example, Carlos is 20 years old. I could win a tournament and the next be eliminated in the 1st Round“said Garbiñe, who from the sidelines is once again enjoying a sport that saw her shine.
