The sequel, however, risks being even more complicated for the Frenchwoman since her opponent in the next round will be the Briton Emma Raducanu (19th), surprise winner of the US Open last year, who eliminated the Belgian Alison van Uytvank (46th) 6-4, 6-4.
Garcia, who played with big bandages at the top of both thighs, above all held on psychologically and was able to make the difference in the super tie break of the decisive set.
She flew away to afford five match points at 9/4, the first two on her serve, and concluded on the first.
The 28-year-old Frenchwoman, N.2 tricolor behind Alizé Cornet (37th), won her first tournament in Germany on Saturday in Germany since 2019, the eighth of her career and the third on grass.
