This time, she does not intend to stop there.
After filling up with confidence during her crazy end to the year 2022, Caroline Garcia now thinks that her "Grand Slam dream" is "possible", she said on Wednesday before the start of the United Cup, which marks the start of the new season.
Winner of the end-of-year WTA Masters in early November after reaching the semi-finals in September at the US Open, the world number 4 displays “great confidence”, such as she “had never felt before”, she assured.
“The dream is always to win a Grand Slam tournament.
There are still steps to climb, but it is now possible.
I'm coming out of a good season.
To feel comfortable, you have to chain the matches.
I appreciate what is coming up, but I take the days one after the other, ”said the 29-year-old Lyonnaise.
In the meantime, she will therefore play in the United Cup, this new mixed competition by national teams, as part of her preparation for the Australian Open (January 16-29).
The Frenchwoman, who is about to start a season in the World Top 10 for only the second time, has fond memories of Perth, where she won the Fed Cup in 2019 with Les Bleues after dominating Australia in the final. .
So excited to represent my country 🇫🇷 with my teammates for the @UnitedCupTennis in Perth!

"It was a crazy emotion," she recalled.
“I can't wait to wear the colors of France again here, I'm happy that the season has started”.
Endowed with 15 million dollars, the United Cup replaces the ATP Cup and is disputed from Thursday in Brisbane, Perth and Sydney, for 11 days.
It brings together 18 mixed teams from as many countries, each made up of four women and four men.
In group F, France will first face Argentina, a few days after the epic final of the 2022 World Cup between the two nations, then Croatia.
