Caroline Garcia, seeded N.5, lost Tuesday as soon as she entered the WTA 1000 tournament in Montreal, against the Czech Marie Bouzkova, 37th in the world, 6-4, 4-6, 6-2. The Frenchwoman, who sometimes appeared very annoyed during the meeting, went on to a second disappointment after her elimination in her first match as well, in Washington last week.
During this American tour, the world No.6 is playing big since she has to defend many points in the WTA rankings obtained during her beautiful summer last year, where she won the Cincinnati tournament and reached the semi-finals in the US Open.
In Montreal, Garcia conceded a fourth defeat in as many confrontations against Bouzkova, who had already eliminated her in the third round of Wimbledon in early July.
