Garcia recalls happy memories of Fed Cup ahead of United Cup: "If you ask me my favourite memory of Perth, that’s it"

Caroline Garcia remembers happy memories from the Hopman Cup and the Fed Cup ahead of the United Cup which will begin her 2023 campaign in Perth.

Caroline Garcia has experience playing in Perth and she returned there this year for the United Cup. Garcia will play for France at the competition and she's excited about it. Being back in Perth generally makes her very happy because she has good memories of the city. She played at the 2016 Hopman Cup and also played for France against Australia in 2019 in Perth.

She won the crucial match with Mladenovic to seal France's win over Australia and that's her favourite memory of the city:

“If you ask me my favourite memory of Perth, that’s it. Very happy memories.”

The United Cup will be a bit different but she's a fan of it:

“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.”
