“It’s a great creation of a new event. As we are playing an individual sport, it’s always a pleasure to play for a team and for your country. It’s important for us to be playing for ranking points. Especially to get as many matches as you can before the first grand slam of the year in Melbourne. It is coming pretty fast.”

Garcia also hopes winning the WTA Finals will give her confidence to keep going in 2023:

“It is the biggest title of my career. It was very unexpected from where I started the year. I am very proud of it, it is something I wanted to do at some point. Now it gives me motivation to go bigger and further in the grand slams and it gives me the confidence that I can do it.”
