Caroline Garcia Secures First Win of Farewell Tour as She Prepares to Retire

Garcia says she no longer has the strength to compete at the elite level, scheduling only a handful of tournaments to conclude her career.

Overview

Garcia beat Sonay Kartal 5–7, 6–4, 6–3 in Cincinnati for her first victory since March.
In May she announced the 2025 French Open would be her final major and that she would play only selected events before retiring.
The former world No. 4 says she lacks the physical and mental strength needed to return to elite competition.
Her career resume includes the 2022 WTA Finals singles title and a 2016 French Open doubles crown.
A 3–6 start to her 2025 season, which featured a first-round French Open exit, underscored the challenges of her comeback and influenced her decision.
