“Bit of a robbery” - Garcia relieved after prevailing over Fernandez at Australian Open
ATPThursday, 19 January 2023 at 17:45
Caroline Garcia managed to pull a straight-sets win over Leylah Fernandez earlier today and it was as she put it "a robbery" due to the circumstances.
She was down a break earlier in the set and then also down in the tiebreak 0-4 before managing to pull out of that. It took some gutsy play by Garcia but that's how she always plays. Bold and fierce and ultimately it proved too much for the Canadian who capitulated easier in the second set. Speaking after the match, Garcia said:
"I felt after I won the first set it was almost a little bit of a robbery on my side. Because she was pretty much up all the time and she was winning service games very easily. I could never really find my rhythm but I just tried to go one point at a time and stay focused on the present. I made it and it was very important for me for sure."

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
