With the tennis she now deploys, furiously offensive, nothing seems impossible. Caroline Garcia can in any case appear as a serious contender for the next major tournaments, she will be seeded, by virtue of her 4th place, won at the end of this exceptional performance.
“I am very proud to succeed Amélie (Mauresmo) who did it in 2005. We were lucky enough to have great champions in the past and I’m really proud to be part of them. It’s the biggest title of my career. I have already won a lot of titles, this year it’s the fourth (after Bad Homburg, Warsaw and Cincinnati). Each time, whether it’s a 250 or more, it means a lot. There is a lot of work behind. There are emotions when you have the match point, when you lift the trophy. You have all the memories of all the difficult times, of the people who supported you. Winning the Masters, I’m not going to say that was the goal at the start of the season, but I’m super proud of this year, this week and this final” explained the new world number 4 after the meeting.
