Garcia vs Burel: experience is on Caroline's side

After her recent failures Caroline Garcia has dropped in the WTA rankings to the 76th position. A tournament in Lausanne with a modest set of players is a great opportunity for the former World No. 4 to remind of herself and find some ranking points. So far Caroline is on her way to fulfill that task.

French player started the Swiss tournament with a win over Dulgheru (6:2, 6:2). Then she had to play match against Sharma in two days. On July 15 match wasn't finished. But on July 16, Caroline finally beat her opponent (7:6, 3:6, 6:3) and in the same day she won the quarter-final against Diyas (7:5, 6:2). It is the first time in that season, when Caroline won three matches in the main draw.

20-year old Clara Burel is a rising star and the main hope of the French tennis. In the current year Clara is looking great on ITF tournaments and is trying to prove herself on more prestigious competitions. 

In the first round of Lausanne tournament young Frenchwoman had no problems in the match against Bandecchi (6:0, 6:2). In the second round she had an intensive long match against Rakhimova, where Clara eventually recorded a victory (1:6, 6:3, 6:3). In the quarter-final Burel secured an unexpected victory over her compatriot, Ferro, in straight sets (7:5, 6:2).
