For three years, the punishment has always been the same: Caroline Garcia no longer passes the second round at Roland-Garros. As in 2021 and 2022, the Lyonnaise, seeded number 5, stumbled this Wednesday on the second step, yet hardly insurmountable. A 6-4, 3-6, 5-7 defeat despite eight match balls saved. If we go back in time, she had suffered the same fate also in 2019. 4 years ago, his opponent was called... Anna Blinkova who had not won a Grand Slam match before Wednesday. Yes, it seems far away his quarter-final in 2017, 6 years ago. This tournament that she loves above all is always denied to her. Except in doubles that she won last year with Kristina Mladenovic but the love does not seem to be reciprocated. In 13 appearances, Caroline Garcia has fallen in the first or second round 10 times.
