The French Open Women’s Doubles champion, Carolina Garcia defeated the 2019 US Open champion, Bianca Andreescu. Carolina Garcia sweeps away Andreescu to win the Bad Homburg Open 2022 title presented by Engel & Voelkers.
Carolina Garcia lifted her first career title after three years. It took almost three hours for the Frenchwoman to claim her third grass-court title. In the semi-final, she almost lost against her fellow Frenchwoman, Cornet but, however, reached the final and now recorded her name on the trophy.
Carolina Garcia came back after the first set down against Bianca Andreescu
Even after the first set down, Garcia fought back in the second set to stay in the final match. The first set ended in a neck-to-neck tiebreak in favour of the Canadians. However, the former Top 10 player did not head down and therefore, took advantage of one break of the game. Bianca Andreescu could not hold her lead of 7-6(5), 4-2 against Garcia which ultimately was levelled by her.
Garcia won straight-four games to wrap the second set, leading to a decider. World No 75 overcame her much-needed victory in the Bad Homburg Open 2022. Garcia let Bianca await her first title since her win in New York three years ago. She was also up 2-0 in the third set which ultimately, led the match 6-7,6-4,6-4.
The 28-year-old will play her first round of Wimbledon against the British Y. Miyazaki on Monday.
