Who can honestly ignore that Caroline Garcia is from Lyon? Each of his exploits or almost is greeted by mentioning his city of origin. However, the world number 6, who is playing her second pool match at the WTA Masters this Thursday, against the Polish Iga Swiatek, was not born in Lyon but in Saint-Germain-en-Laye (Yvelines), in the Paris region. . As a relative kindly jokes, “only Saint-Germain knows it and puts it forward”. Caroline Garcia has no memory of her early childhood in Île-de-France. Arrived very young in the Lyon region, she grew up in Bron, like a certain Karim Benzema, the very recent Ballon d’Or.
