It is a victory that will count. Caroline Garcia (n°27) won 6-3, 1-6, 6-2 against Coco Gough (n°3) in the round of 16 of the WTA 1000 in Miami. After knocking out Naomi Osaka in the previous round, the Frenchwoman qualified for the quarter-finals of the tournament for the first time this season (and for the first time since the Beijing tournament in October 2023).
A huge air gap after pocketing the first set, a shoulder maneuver after losing the second set and Caroline Garcia resumed her march forward. For the first time since the 2022 Masters, which she won in November, not only beating Maria Sakkari, but also a certain Coco Gough, the Frenchwoman added a member of the world’s top 5 to her record. Against the world No. 3, who is ranked 27th in the WTA was able to pull herself together to regain the upper hand in the third set where she led throughout the race. “Unlike Coco, I always feel that things can change at any moment
At the end of the meeting the French woman accepted. It feels good to win a match like this. Vsgave a moral boost.”More realistic than her opponent (three of five break points converted compared to 2/7 for the American), Caroline Garcia remarkably saved four break points in this final act of the match. For the third time in a row, she dominated Coco Gough, the winner of the last US Open and semi-finalist in Melbourne earlier in the year, as well as last week in Indian Wells. A real benchmark victory for a player who was in doubt till then.
