FORT WORTH, Texas: Caroline Garcia plopped on a cowboy hat to go with the trophy she was holding after telling fans she had enjoyed her first trip to Texas.
There was plenty for the Frenchwoman to like in Cowtown. Garcia took a tight first set and went on to a 7-6(4), 6-4 victory over Aryna Sabalenka to win the championship of the WTA Finals on Monday night.
The sixth-ranked Garcia became the second player from France to win the season-ending event after Amelie Mauresmo in 2005, also the last time the WTA Finals were held in the US.
Tied in the deciding game of a match with just one break point, Garcia’s service winner gave her a second chance to close it out.
