Garbine Muguruza has been away from tennis for quite some time and is currently unranked for the first time since the 2008 season.
The Spanish tennis player has been involved in WTA tournaments for quite a long time, but now she is an unranked player for the first time since the 2008 season. She is enjoying a long break from the world of tennis because she needs it.
We have seen several tennis players with almost the same case in recent times. But the former world number 1 has effectively extended his break to a full season since he last stood on a tennis court.

Muguruza took the break after she struggled hard to be motivated to keep going, after her game wasn’t really that good. He started last season 0-4 and at that point he decided enough was enough.
The critical point for the tennis player who has won two Grand Slam titles occurred at the end of January 2023 after he lost his opening match at the Lyon Open. However, the promise of a return to tennis was always there.
The Spaniard is adamant that it is not retirement and he will definitely return, but that has not happened yet. The time he has spent away from the world of tennis has been truly enjoyable for him.
He is engaged and enjoys the time he spends away from the field with his fiancé and family. He has never taken such a long break from tennis and it is known how tough the sport can be, especially in the context of mental health.
The inactivity ensured that the Spaniard lost all his points, effectively becoming an unranked player. His last points win came at last season’s Lyon Open, played at the end of January.
Considering Garbine Muguruza just lost those ranking points, that means she no longer has a ranking. Before this week, he was ranked 1129th in the world with only a handful of points, but now he actually doesn’t have any points and is unranked.
