Caroline Garcia is enjoying her 2nd major breakout as the French player had one a couple of years ago when she climbed into the top 10.
That breakout came after she won back-to-back WTA 1000 trophies resulting in her climbing all the way into the top 10 but she never quite lived up to that level again. She's getting pretty close in recent weeks as Garcia has won a couple of trophies since starting her run at Bad Homburg, one of which was a WTA 1000 trophy in Cincinnati.
John McEnroe thinks that Garcia could go all the way with the way she's playing:
“When I was watching that I was like, ‘Was that Caroline Garcia?’ My goodness. I thought she had trouble with her serve? Until recently to me? She has a qualifier in Cincinnati, she was 70 in the world in Cincinnati. Now all of a sudden it looks like she’s going to win the whole tournament, so it's a metamorphosis that you don’t see very often with her."
He continued:
“Her standing that close on the return, and just crushing the ball. I just love her attitude right now, and I’ve got to hand it to her, she’s a former No.4 player in the world. I thought she’d reached that and maxed out. She was struggling to find anything for years actually, so I give her a lot of credit for stepping it up big time.”
