WTA RANKING. By winning the Masters at the end of the year, the Frenchwoman Caroline Garcia climbs to 4th place in the WTA rankings.
An absolutely incredible season. 75th in the world at mid-season, the Frenchwoman ended the year in 4th place worldwide after her victory at the end-of-year Masters in Texas and reached the highest ranking of a Frenchwoman or a Frenchman after one season (Mauresmo and Noah in 4th place). Be aware, however, that Caroline Garcia had already reached this ranking in 2018 and now hopes to get on the podium next season, or even become world No. Iga Swiatek seems untouchable.
Asked about her room for improvement, Caroline Garcia believes that she can still do better and see higher. “Yes, I think. It’s not big things, but full of small details. My second serve can be better, more varied, more aggressive sometimes. On the return, I can be more precise on my zones, especially on the second. I’m an aggressive player, but sometimes my attacks aren’t super precise so I pass. Physically, we can still gain a little to be a little more explosive and cover my ground a little better. And mentally, you never get to the end of your mental work. In my last two matches, I have a lot of positives to take on how I managed my emotions. Draw inspiration from that to continue to improve.”
