If the French had a very difficult first day in New York, Caroline Garcia, she qualified for the second round of the US Open.
A long fight of 2:45. Caroline Garcia did not choose the easiest path to reach the second round of the fourth Grand Slam of the season. But the important thing is that the 27-year-old has emerged from the trap set by Briton Harriet Dart, 151e world player, in three sets [6-7(6),6-4, 6-2]. However, everything had started badly for the Frenchwoman since she had conceded the first round against the player resulting from the qualifications, with no less than 24 unforced errors.
But the loss of this first set had the merit of waking up Caroline Garcia. The latter increased his level of play and accelerated in the next two sets with in particular 28 winning shots while his opponent chained the faults (21). So many parameters that allowed the French to reverse the trend of this match. Once tied, Garcia completely took the decisive set over the Briton, including 90% of points gained behind her first ball, and ended the match on her second match point. In the next round, the task will be much more difficult for the Habs since it will be opposed to Kazakhe Elena Rybakina, seeded 19 in New York.
