Garbine Muguruza vs Caroline Garcia: Preview
Garbine Muguruza looks to bring her season on track as she prepares for her first match in Cincinnati. She was handed a bye in the first round due to her seeding. The Spaniard last played at the 2021 Montreal Open in Canada last week where she lost in the 2nd round itself and will hope to have change in fortunes this week in the US.
Caroline Garcia makes her way to the 2nd round after starting from the qualifying rounds. She then defeated former US Open champion, Sloane Stephens, in 3-sets in the 1st round to advance ahead into the tournament. All 3 of her matches in Cincinnati have been 3-setters and she will now face the challenge of Garbine who is hungry for wins.

This will be the 4th meeting between the duo and also the 4th on Hardcourts. All 3 of their previous meetings came in the Round of 16 of different competitions and will be their first match since 2018. Muguruza was the winner in all 3 of their meetings and leads the head-to-head tie 3-0.
Garbine Muguruza vs Caroline Garcia: Prediction
Garcia will come into the clash with a career Hardcourt record of 167-139 and is 12-9 on the surface for the season having gone 22-19 across all surfaces this season. Muguruza will take the court with a career Hardcourt record of 213-101 and is 23-7 on the surface this season which has given the majority of her wins this season in her season record of 30-12 across all surfaces.
Looking at these numbers and comparing their previous form on the surface, Muguruza seems the one to win the tie but it won’t be an easy task as Garcia has staged good comebacks this week and will fancy her chances against the former World No. 1.
Match Prediction: Garbine Muguruza to win in three sets
