Vondrousova eliminates Garcia in Dubai first round
Caroline Garcia didn't need to qualify for the WTA 500 tournament in Dubai, as she was awarded a wild-card.
Unfortunately for the Frenchwoman, her adventure comes to an end this Sunday. Marketa Vondrousova, her opponent for the day, was very strong.
The Czech won 6-2, 6-2 and gave Garcia no chance. She converted six of her seven break points.
A complicated start to the season for Garcia, who has four defeats to her name and just one victory in 2025.
In the next round, the former Wimbledon winner will face Mirra Andreeva or Elina Avanesyan.
