At Roland-Garros,

It is the story of a match whose outcome we guessed in ten seconds just by looking at the sky.

Caroline Garcia doesn't like windy conditions, which prevent her from deploying the aggressive play she enjoys, and it turns out that it was blowing hard on the Central on Sunday.

Svitolina, one of the few favorites of the tournament still in the race, had only to bend down to pick up the faults and the points.

The Frenchwoman recognized her helplessness without arguing.

Swept 6/1 6/3 by Elina Svitolina, the Frenchwoman totally missed her eighth, winning only twice her faceoff ... đŸ€’ # RG20

“I didn't dominate and overpower him.

I didn't have the impression of playing against and with this wind in a positive way.

I could have adapted more.

She had the same wind as me and managed to adapt.

She has a slightly less risky game and she has managed to better control her game. I had a lot of trouble adapting to it.

I tried not to get too frustrated and kept trying to move my legs.

The ball was moving a lot.

It was blowing in the same direction, sometimes gusts.

It didn't allow me to express myself, it's frustrating ”.

Doubly frustrating because it started to rain half an hour later, and Hugo Gaston and Dominic Thiem played almost their entire match indoors.

Garcia had warmed herself up in the morning under a closed roof.

“Compared to my profile and his, it was an advantage for me to play indoors. After that, it’s a tournament that is based outdoors. As long as it didn’t rain, I knew it was going to be played out. outdoors, and that's normal ".

We can still regret that after ten years on the circuit, the Lyonnaise is so devoid of plan B when she can not impose her style of play. We will say that it is part of its charm.
