The Frenchwoman finally lost in three sets to the Italian Jasmine Paolini.
Frenchwoman Caroline Garcia lost in three sets on Wednesday to world number 31, Italian Jasmine Paolini, 3-6, 6-4, 7-5, in the round of 16 of the WTA 500 tournament in Zhengzhou (China). The 10th in the WTA rankings nevertheless had the opportunity to conclude the third set but she did not manage to transform one of the four match points that she obtained in the tenth game on her opponent’s serve. .
The Italian, who will face the Russian Liudmila Samsonova (N.11) or the German Lauyra Siegemund in the quarter, was able to seize her chance by immediately stealing the entry of the Frenchwoman, before concluding after 2h17 of a match hotly contested. Caroline Garcia, who may harbor regrets, was eliminated in the quarter-finals of the WTA tournament in Beijing last week, beaten by the world No.2, the Polish Iga Swiatek, 6-7 (10-8), 7-6 (7-5), 6-1.
