Garcia: “I know it’s the right decision”
“Now it’s time to come back to the square one: let my body really heal and make a good training block. Even if it hurts me to miss the grass season (where I won some of my biggest victories – 4 titles!), I know it’s the right decision. I want to be in good health for a last push on hard shorts … and ready for another big moment outside the courts: the preparations for the wedding begin.
