Caroline Garcia wins the Warsaw tournament

An almost faultless summer for Caroline Garcia. The Frenchwoman, 45e world player, won her second summer tournament on Sunday, July 31, this time on clay in Warsaw, beating Romanian Ana Bogdan in the final (108e world) 6-4, 6-1 in 1 h 21 min.

Caroline Garcia had already distinguished herself in the quarter-finals of the competition by dismissing in three sets the world number one, the Polish Iga Swiatek, victorious on the ocher of Roland-Garros in June.

After the grass tournament in Bad Homburg (Germany) on June 25, the 28-year-old Frenchwoman therefore lifts her second trophy in 2022, the ninth of her career on the WTA circuit. Since the start of the German tournament on June 19, Caroline Garcia has won eighteen of her last twenty-two matches.

Auspicious ahead of the US Open

This success will bring it to two fingers of the Top 30, to the 32e place in the world, admittedly still far from its best ranking (4e in 2018), but in the position of French number 1 ahead of Alizé Cornet (38e). A sign that the summer of 2022 is doing well for her, Caroline Garcia had, before her title in Bad Homburg, not played in the final for three years and her victory in June 2019 in Nottingham, already on grass, at a time when she was still flirting. with the best in the world.

Her success in Warsaw bodes well a month before the US Open (August 29 to September 11), where the Francilienne has never exceeded 3e round.
