Eliminated in the second round of Roland-Garros for the fourth time in a row, Wednesday May 29 against the American Sofia Kenin (6-3, 6-3), Caroline Garcia returned to a press conference on his risky gambling and its consequences. 

What was the most problematic against Sofia Kenin today ? 

She has a difficult game. She takes the ball early, she changes direction a lot, she moves you a lot, she takes away a lot of time, she returns quite well. So that takes away a lot of my strengths. And afterward, she's a player who's having a solid season. She played well in Rome already, beating some good players. Today she was stronger.

How do you feel coming out of the court ? 

I'm disappointed to have lost today, obviously. I think I didn'really manage to put my game down. ;#39;that's what cost me the match today. She didn't leave me much room. Afterwards, in the service, I didn't manage to be dominant enough. There are games that I lost even though I had game balls, etc. So this is where there are some points to regret.

Do you want to change your attacking game a little towards less risk ? 

Are you new ? (laughs) I've been playing like that for 15 years. No, I've always kept my gaming identity a bit. That's how I play best. I sometimes try to add more effect, to wait a little more. But believe me, it's not a very pretty sight.
