Caroline Garcia, French tennis player
Caroline Garcia (French pronunciation: [kaʁɔlin ɡaʁsja]; Spanish: García, pronounced [ɡaɾˈθi.a]; born 16 October 1993) is a French professional tennis player. She has won seven singles and six doubles titles on the WTA Tour, one singles and one doubles title on the WTA 125K series, as well as one singles title and four doubles titles on the ITF Circuit. On 10 September 2018, she reached her best singles ranking of world No. 4, and on 24 October 2016 she peaked at No. 2 in the WTA doubles rankings, tied with fellow Frenchwoman Kristina Mladenovic.
Garcia's breakthrough in doubles stemmed from her partnership with Mladenovic in 2016. The pair won four titles together, the greatest of which was the French Open title. The Frenchwomen were the 2016 WTA Doubles Team of the Year. During the next season they focused on the singles with Garcia becoming the first player ever to win Wuhan and Beijing in the same year.
Playing for France at the Fed Cup, Garcia has a win–loss record of 8–4 in singles and 5–1 in doubles. She was awarded a Heart Award for her sportsmanship, and led her country to the 2016 Fed Cup final, France's first final since 2005.
