Garcia's on a roll! Her first Wimbledon R4 since 2017!

 

[ItstimetoRetire]

16 aces for Garcia in 2 sets that's getting close to Isner numbers.

Fun match to watch, both players hitting well, serving well.

OMG it feels SO good to see Caro so happy and enjoying herself and her tennis that way

great embrace at the net

Shu

Allez Caro !!
don't stop there !

Beating EmRad, then flopping to SZ would have been too much to bear. Higher ranking be damned.

 

[Libertango]

Fabulous, Garcia at her best has a classy game. Nice to see her put this run together.

It's just her luck that this result happens with no points but it's still great for her confidence and overall career trajectory. She has a great chance to reach the quarterfinal now and maybe even further ?!

 

[MichaelB]

good one... though some might have some fun on that theme for when they... gasp... surprise... go down in defeat.

 

[ashtrayheart]

What a battle! Well fought Shuai! Garcia was too good today and her service was unbreakable.

 

[Povapenko]

The passing shot from Zhang a few points before the end was truly wonderful, especially considering Where Garcia was returning

Am sad

the match of the tournament so far

caro is playing the level of tennis that once took her to top 5 ranking. seriously, her game right now is scary good. the post-match interviewer asked her about how high is her confidence right now after 8 wins on grass following her title last week in germany, but honestly, i think what really flipped the switch for her was the title with kiki in paris. if she keeps this level i dont see many players who can stop her

Love to see Caro doing well. She really has so many strengths as a tennis player that should allow her to be a consistent top player, just struggles mentally and putting it together.

hopefully herbody holds up as shegoes through the tournament, after some long battles in Bad Homburg.

Best match of the tournament so far. The first two shots of every rally were so important, both ladies were returning bullets and playing such aggressive tennis - something like 70 combined winners. GOATcia with 16 aces (many more unreturnables) and 25 net points won? Incredible level. I worry about her injury but it's forcing her to play first strike tennis and right now she is looking like she could be a danger to most of the other ladies in the draw if she keeps it up.

Beautiful hug at the net as well. These two have a nice history together, going back to them playing doubles. It's about time Caro eked out a win against her after losing to her here in 2019 and at home in Lyon SF this year. The crowd atmosphere was amazing on this court. Best of luck to Shuai in doubles!

Fantastic grass court performance by Caroline, 16 aces and lots of points won at the net, aggressive play at the key moments squeaked this match for her. But Shuai Zhang played so well as well, she is no slouch on this surface and came very close to forcing this to three sets.

Pleased that Caroline's thigh strain or whatever it is, is not stopping her from continuing her streak of grass wins from Bad Homburg, because Caroline is one of the most natural and fluent grass court players left in the second week. It's good to see her playing this well after some rough times.

Garcia finally playing as she supposed to play is such a joy to watch.

The stats of the match are so good for both but especially for Caro :

1st serve :68%
16 ace/2DF
40W/27UE
BP: 2/4
BP saved 6/8
Net point won 25/34

If she was fully fit she would be a contestant for the title playing like this.

Wow Carobot to go all the way? And Emma to finish 2nd?? :hug

 

[AWB09]

I agree about the sportsmanship and the warm tribute that Caroline made to her opponent in her on court speech speaks volumes about Zhang's likeable personality.

 

[Wasabi.]

I love Shuai so this is hard but I also like Caro's story. Shuai brings a high level so often and never gives up! So many fun matches that involve her. Now I also like Caro and Marie a lot

Just a note that Caro's aggressive instincts are absolutely superb.
