“you fuck”, he got to throw the coach, desperate to with your attitude, Muguruza, before leaving the track by lifting up your arm
The simple defeat by 6-2 and 6-0 to china’s Qiang Wang, 22nd in the rankings, it would be a farewell season sad enough to Garbiñe Muguruza. Relegated to the WTA Elite Trophy, a tournament that gathers the players who did not win a place in the final of the WTA tour, where he was in the three years preceding, the hispanovenezolana said good-bye in the semi-finals, leaving a discussion with her coach, Sam Sumyk, ended in a few thick words of it: “you fuck!”, he was dedicated to his pupil after a tough dialogue to the foot of the track.
The end of the worst course of Garbiñe since he entered the elite was, therefore, the corollary of a confrontation-verbal, that invites us to think in the order of the linking with one who is his coach from September 2015. The former world no. 1 requested him to descend to the pitch when they lost 3-2 in the first part, after having yielded for the first time your service.
-“you’re Always angry. There is No sense talking with someone who is always angry,” he berated Sumyk.
-“I am Not angry,” replied the player.
-“There is one rule here: I don’t speak with people who are angry,” added the coach.
-“I am Not angry,” he repeated Garbiñe.
-“I’m trying to help you”, he added Sumyk.
-“Ok, so help me, what should I do?”, he snapped the caracas in tone cavalier.
– “oh, you fuck!”, released the trainer before you turn back.
there was No reaction of Garbiñe, who was meeting with an indentation of 11 consecutive games lost.
The dispute between Muguruza and Sumyk have been relayed on several occasions. Without going more far, in the previous match of this tournament, against Anastasija Sevastova, since they had another free-for-all verbal in which Garbiñe also attacked a worker of the media. “Have you finished already to bother with the camera?”, he asked while fulfilling its mission of recording what was happening. Garbiñe saved three match points and qualified for the semifinals, not without breaking violently their racket in one of the critical moments of the meeting.
Disappointing results
With a single title, achieved at the modesto tournament of Monterrey, and the semi-finals of Roland Garros as the best result in the large, end 2018 on the 17th or 18th place in the ranking. Fell in the second round at the Australian Open, at Wimbledon, where he defended the title, and at the US Open. At the age of 25, with two majors under his belt and a fleeting step by the number 1, seems to have entered a territory swampy. Great competitor, with sufficient arguments to tennis to high expectations, lacks the necessary stability in a circuit also volatile, without reference to solidity once weakened the authority of Serena Williams.
on The sidelines of the clashes covered by the cameras, the deal between Muguruza and Sumyk have a long time of deterioration. Last year, in the absence of the French, for family reasons, Garbiñe enjoyed in Wimbledon of his best moments advised by Conchita Martinez. The good results of the partnership allowed the aragonese to be added to the team during the north american tour of last spring, this time at the side of Sumyk, formula that the tennis player was closed following the conclusion of the tournament in Miami, after just two months.
Under the direction of Sumyk, Garbiñe won Roland Garros in 2016 and Wimbledon in 2017. The technician, however, has not managed to bring his tennis and delve into facets of his game, such as the service and the approaches to the network. The hispanovenezolana, with much impact in the media and business, does not seem to have reduced their involvement competitive. What is clear is that a few months ago, lost confidence in the coach. And that he has been finished the patience.
