Caroline Garcia’s physio, Laura Legoupil, has decided to end her collaboration with the French number 1. A new change in the framework of the latter.
Caroline Garcia has not been at her best since the start of the season and will have to get up without Laura Legoupil. Her physio announced this Saturday morning that she was stopping her collaboration with the Lyonnaise, eliminated from the last two WTA 1000 tournaments (in the round of 16 in Indian Wells, in the third round in Miami) by the Romanian Sorana Cirstea.
“After a year and a half, I decided to end the collaboration with Caroline Garcia. I wish him the best for the future,” she writes in a few words on social networks. After Bertrand Perret, whose paths with Garcia separated just before his coronation at the Fort Worth Masters in November, the world number 4 is making a major new start in his coaching.
Garcia’s tricky season
Laura Legoupil has contributed for a year and a half to the rise of Caroline Garcia, from her convalescence from a foot injury to her formidable flight last year punctuated by a doubles title, with Kristina Mladenovic at Roland -Garros, and four consecrations in singles (Bad Homburg, Warsaw, Cincinnati, WTA Masters).
The 29-year-old, coached at the latest by Argentinian Juan Pablo Guzman, finds herself in a tricky overall position ahead of the start of the European clay-court tour. In terms of results, she performed the best in the WTA 250 events of Lyon and Monterrey, then respectively beaten closest to a new title by Alycia Parks and Donna Vekic. But Caroline Garcia with an aggressive game and who has been walking on water in recent months is no longer in sight for the moment.
