Exit from entry into a single for her latest Roland-Garros, Caroline Garcia is no longer in double race either after her defeat on Sunday alongside Diane Parry against Mirra Andreeva and Diana Shnaider (6-0, 7-5). The Lyonnaise, which will end her career at the end of the season, this time did her farewell to the Parisian tournament.
This time, it’s well finished for Caroline Garcia. Eliminated from a single entry for its last participation but still in the running in doubles, the Lyonnaise had only shot its back at the Paris tournament. She made her final farewell this Sunday. As had been the case in single last Monday after the defeat of the future young retiree (she is 31 years old only) against the American Bernarda Pera, who had confirmed in the next round against Donna Vekic his performance against the former world number 4, Garcia saw her double adventure in this last Roland Garros to end.
On Sunday, the 144th in the WTA in Simple ranking bowed alongside his compatriot Diane Parry against the Russian pair made up of Mirra Andreeva and her partner Diana Shnaider. In the same way as that which was still not so long ago that it was the best classified of our representatives had not really weighed heavy against Pera six days earlier, Garcia and Parry bowed dryly (6-0, 7-5) facing the two Russians, heads of serial 4 of this double painting which had seen our two tricolors impose on the first round in pain in the face of Japanese and Tang.
Not far from a humiliation for his last outing
This final exit from Lyonnaise could even have turned to humiliation. In the first set, as they had already done three times since the start of the tournament, the silver medalists of the 2024 Olympic Games had indeed stuck a 6-0 to the two French, who then found colors, however.
On a short Simonne-Mathieu copiously filled for Garcia’s “Der”, the latter and her partner were then equal to their opponents of the day, who nevertheless had the last word. This time, it is therefore well finished for one of the heroines of this edition, which offered his fans a last pleasure before leaving the court by lending himself to the game of autographs and selfies. Again for the last time in Paris.
