US Open: can the French Caroline Garcia recreate the feat of Cincinnati?

Caroline Garcia is one of the favorites for the US Open, which begins this Monday in New York. We want to believe it in front of its sparkling form, which is the fruit of a rebirth. There isn’t a fitter player on the women’s tour than the 28-year-old Frenchwoman who won in Cincinnati last week.

The US Open tennis begins this Monday in New York. Caroline Garcia, the 28-year-old Frenchwoman, is one of the favorites of the tournament. We want to believe it in front of its sparkling form, which is the fruit of a rebirth. There is no player on the women’s circuit in better shape than the Frenchwoman. The statistics confirm it: Caroline Garcia remains on 26 victories in her last 30 matches. A newfound confidence thanks in particular to her trainer Bertrand Perret, chosen by the Parisian at the start of the year to take over from her father Louis-Paul, who had followed her since 2012.

A beneficial change of coach

It is clear that this change is beneficial. Three tournaments won over the last three months, culminating in the WTA 1000 tournament in Cincinnati, which saw him eliminate, in passing, three members of the world’s Top 10. It was his first victory at this level for five years.

There is a feeling that the planets are aligned for the Frenchwoman, who is now in the world Top 20 alongside the best. A ranking that she had not known since 2019.

Do better than Cincinnati

Caroline Garcia impresses her fans as her peers, and seems armed as rarely before to try to get the biggest title of her career. We will have to do as well, if not better, than in Cincinnati. This will first go through a victory for her entry today against the 90th player in the world, the Russian Kamilla Rakhimova.
