‘Terribly tired, physically and mentally’ – Garcia

However, Garcia later confessed through her Instagram story that she was so terrified after the match that she couldn’t go to sleep. She stated that she gets a glimpse of her match every time she switches off the lights and puts her head on the pillow. She said that her mind is going ‘crazy.’

“Terribly tired, physically and mentally, leaving to the airport in 6h but I can’t fall asleep, I am “afraid” to go to sleep. My mind is going crazy,” Caroline shared in a message on her Instagram story.

The 29-year-old also mentioned the mistakes she did and the bad decisions she made during the big game against Vekic.

“Every time I switch off the lights and put my head on the pillow, I can rewatch my match – that serve catching the lines on break point or that easy forehand missed or that bad choice … Tennis can drive you crazy a little bit,” she said.
