Muguruza tira su partido contra la kazaja Putintseva
continúa negada. La española, que hace unos días se despidió en la segunda ronda del Mutua Madrid Open con una actuación horrorosa ante la ucraniana Ahnelina Kalinina, perdió a las primeras de cambio en el contra la kazaja Yulia Putintseva (27 años y 40ª del mundo), una rival que sólo la había ganado una vez, y por retirada, en tres enfrentamientos. Muguruza dominaba por 6-3, 5-4 y 30-0 y dejó escapar el triunfo con tres errores lamentables en el desempate del segundo set. En el tercero, apenas compitió (6-1), desfondada por las decenas de dejadas que le tiró Putintseva, sabedora de lo mucho que sufre Garbiñe, una tenista grande, cuando tiene que correr hacia adelante.
