Laura Siegemund vs Caroline Garcia Prediction: Garcia the obvious favorite here

The world of tennis is a busy one especially when you consider how we have multiple tournaments each month with 100s of athletes putting their fates on the line. We have seen some players try their luck for around 20 years but remain bereft of a title despite achieving high ranks, thus, winning a tournament is tough. Especially when it comes to the Grand Slam. In this Grand Slam game, Laura Siegmund will take on Caroline Garcia.

Laura comes into the match after defeating Irina-Camelia Begu 5-7, 7-5, 6-3 in a thrilling Second Round battle. In the thrilling game, Laura had a 61-57 service points advantage while the receiving points were tied at 50 each. Laura has now played two straight three-set games, including the first-round battle against Lucia Bronzetti. Laura has had trouble making deep runs but the first two results show her incredible fighting spirit. Siegemund has been a two-time Grand Slam champion so her net game is solid but she can be left stranded against aggressive players.

Caroline comes into the contest after defeating Leylah Fernandez 7-6, 7-5 which means that it took a tiebreaker for her to come on top. In that game, while Leylah had a great return game, pinching out a 32-23 advantage but Caroline brought her much heralded power game to the floor and nailed 11 Aces, which enabled her to eke out a 58:49 service points advantage. Caroline had an easy draw in the first round and managed to defeat Katherine Sobov in two sets where she took the second set without dropping a game. Last year, Caroline was on fire and even made it to the Final of the WTA Finals. Thus, she is one of the contenders for the title here.

Laura and Caroline met once and that was during the French Open, where Caroline won 6-3, 6-1.

There is no doubt that Caroline is the favorite here and Laura can end up suffering a big defeat here. Taking a set can be a big deal for Laura and despite her recent performances, she is running into a player who is on the top of her game. That’s why i’d back Caroline to win by a big margin.
