“elimination at the Australian Open was difficult to digest,” says Caroline Garcia

The French number one came back this Saturday on RMC on her recent defeat in the round of 16 of the Australian Open. A “difficult” moment to accept for the 4th world.

Since her Masters title, Caroline Garcia has been a contender for Grand Slam titles. But from the round of 16, the Polish Magda Linette (45th) put an end to her dreams of victory in Melbourne in two sets (7-6, 6-4). The 29-year-old Lyonnaise returned to this elimination at the microphone of RMC : «It was hard to digest. It was a complicated tournament. Compared to the strength of the opponent, I lacked a bit of calm and lucidity. You also have to accept that it’s the start of the season. It’s obviously a disappointment, but it’s still a round of 16, you have to keep the positive to work and go higher. I had expectations, maybe I was too obsessed with it. You have to learn from this experience, see what I can do better for the next tournaments“. Next objective, the Lyon tournament, next week. “It is close to my heart to play in France, in my city, in front of my family, I am trying to recover well after the Australian Open, she explained. It’s a little different pressure, you want to do well for the public, to get the title for you and all those who support you, it’s a good challenge. It’s one of my dreams to win in Lyon.»
