Far more than a consolation prize: World champion Caroline Garcia wins doubles title

World champion Caroline Garcia had started the bett1open presented by ecotrans Group as one of the top favorites for the title. The quarter-final defeat to Petra Kvitova ended the French world champion's dreams of a singles triumph at the Steffi Graf Stadium. But Garcia impressively managed to turn this disappointment into positive energy. The reward: victory in doubles, alongside Brazilian Luisa Stefani. In the final against the Czech doubles team of Katerina Siniakova/Marketa Vondrousova, they turned a set deficit into a victory: 4:6, 7:6 and 10:4 in the match tie-break.
