Garcia takes Mallorcan grass-court title
Warming up ahead of Wimbledon, French no 6 seed takes victory
Taking her first ever grass-court crown, France's Caroline Garcia beat her opponent Anastasuja Sevastova on Sunday afternoon, 6-3, 6-4.
Garcia, ranked 39th in the world and reigning French Open women's doubles champion, beat former Wimbledon semifinalists Ana Ivanovic and Kirsten Flipkens before taking on the 82nd-ranked Latvian in the final and taking the inaugural Mallorca Open title.
Caroline Garcia has been on a roll this year, winning her first title of the year on clay at Strasbourg and then teaming with Kristina Mladenovic to capture the French Open doubles title.
"For now, this is my best season; when you win your first title, you never know if you'll win another,” Garcia said. “It was a dream to win my first, and now I have three, plus the French Open in doubles. The work I'm doing with my team is definitely paying off."
This title will now ensure her a place at Wimbledon, the most famous grass-court tournament.
