Coach Conchita Martinez announced that she has parted ways with two-time Grand Slam champion Garbiñe Muguruza after more than three years of working together. Martinez, a Wimbledon champion herself, wrote on her Twitter account: "I agreed with Garbiñe to end the working relationship. It has been an amazing period filled with emotions and wonderful experiences both on and off the court. It was a pleasure working with Garbiñe, and I wish her the best."
The announcement came more than a week after the 29-year-old Muguruza confirmed that she would be extending her break. Martinez began working with her fellow Spaniard in 2019, and they had previously collaborated when she guided Muguruza to the Wimbledon title in 2017 after the departure of coach Sam Sumyk. Muguruza reached the top of the world rankings in 2017 and was ranked third globally in 2021, but she has dropped out of the top 100 after failing to win any matches this year.
