After her incredible victory on the night of Monday to Tuesday in Fort Worth, Texas, in the final of the Women’s Tennis Masters, Caroline Garcia is on cloud nine. Guests of “Europe 1 Sport”, Cédric Pioline and Benoit Maylin deciphered and justified the exceptional form of the Frenchwoman, now 4th in the world.
It is undeniable, Caroline Garcia is currently one of the best players on the WTA circuit, if not the best. Guest of the show Europe 1 Sports (every evening from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m.), Benoit Maylin is formal: “Since mid-June, she has been the world number 1 if we look at the points accumulated.”
And for good reason, at the dawn of Roland-Garros, at the end of last May, she even flirted with the doors of the top 80, relegated to 79th place in the world hierarchy. But since mid-June, Caroline Garcia has been transfigured: 36 wins for nine losses, four titles and eight wins against the Top 10.
“We feel happy”
This sudden rebirth, Caroline Garcia owes it above all to her steely mind. Arriving without her coach, and therefore psychological support, at the Fort Worth Masters, the French player has come a long way after being on the verge of elimination during the group matches.
“Right now, she’s incredible, she amazes me,” reacted Cédric Pioline in Europe 1 Sports, before continuing: “Her title is totally deserved. She plays incredible tennis, we feel she is liberated. The total confidence is there and it shows.” The former French tennis player even thinks that “it will last”. But before that Caroline Garcia can breathe. This Masters marked the end of a season rich in twists and turns. The next meeting for the player is set for January 2 in Auckland, for the start of the 2023 season.
