As Roland-Garros gets closer, Caroline Garcia did not give any guarantees of success on clay with an elimination in the third round of the WTA tournament in Rome once morest Camila Osorio.
Caroline Garcia worries as Roland-Garros approaches. After having signed only one victory in Stuttgart then in Madrid during her first two tournaments on clay, the world number 4 might not do better in Rome. Indeed, following her victory over Ana Bogdan in the second round for her entry into the running, the number 5 seed in the Italian capital failed at the gates of the round of 16 once morest Camila Osorio. A meeting disputed under a threatening sky which started in a rather particular way. Indeed, both the French and the Colombian were unable to hold their first service game. In the process, the 100th player in the world had an opportunity to regain the advantage but Caroline Garcia was able to dismiss it. It was then the Habs who, in a sixth hanging game, had two opportunities to break. However, the success was not at the rendezvous. ATfter holding on, Camila Osorio once once more did not miss the opportunity to go ahead on the scoreboard. The ninth game saw the Colombian give up the world number 4 to serve for the victory of the first set.

Garcia weighed down by her missed break points
Back to the wall, Caroline Garcia raised her voice but failed to make the most of the three opportunities to return to the height that she was able to obtain. The first set point was good for Camila Osorio. The second set saw both players first hold their serves and then… the rain coming to interrupt the debates for a little over an hour. Very soon following the restart, it was Caroline Garcia who showed herself to be the most enterprising, but the first break point proved to be a failure. Camila Osorio, meanwhile, hesitated little when it came to taking the service of the Habs. In effect, the second chance was the right one in the often important seventh game. It was only when serving to end the match that the Colombian was less at ease. After missing a first match point, it was a break point that she had to face. But, as was the case for most of this duel, Caroline Garcia did not take her chance. For Camila Osorio, the second match point was the right one (6-4, 6-4 in 1h55′) with Magda Linette or Beatriz Haddad Maia who will be on her way to the round of 16.
