"Caroline Garcia carries the same sense of absolute inevitability as Bianca Andreescu in 2019 and Emma Raducanu in 2021" - Tennis fans react to Frenchwoman's victory over Coco Gauff in US Open QF

Caroline Garcia continued her miraculous run at the 2022 US Open, defeating Coco Gauff in the quarterfinals on Tuesday. Playing the American in front of her home crowd, Garcia showed no signs of nerves, dominating the contest throughout to record a commanding 6-3, 6-4 win.

With the victory, the Frenchwoman booked her first ever semifinal spot in a Major, improving on the quarterfinal exit at the 2017 French Open. She also became the third-ever Frenchie to reach the semifinals at Flushing Meadows in the Open Era, following in the footsteps of Amelie Mauresmo and Mary Pierce.

Tennis fans reacted to Garcia's victory with joy, stating that there was a sense of inevitability to the World No. 17 in New York this year that was very similar to Emma Raducanu's title run last year and Bianca Andreescu's title triumph in 2019. One fan commented on the same:

"At the risk of jinxing it, Caroline Garcia carries the same sense of absolute inevitability as Bianca Andreescu in 2019 and Emma Raducanu in 2021."

Another fan, on the other hand, noted that the 28-year-old's run was not all that surprising, considering she came into the tournament on the back of a title run at the preceding WTA 1000 Cincinnati Open.

"Okay you can’t be doing a victory lap for calling Garcia a dark horse to win before the tourney she was the Cincy champ and probably a top 3 favorite for the tourney."

Fans were also sympathetic towards Gauff, remarking that she had a bright future ahead of her and that there was no shame in losing to a redlining Garcia who was in the form of her life. One fan tweeted:

"Remember people, Coco Gauff is only 18 years old & in the future she will be the USA’s # 1 superstar . Yes she was beaten tonight for a chance to get to the semi finals of the US Open by a-red hot talent in Garcia. Caroline has beaten 6 players recently in the top-20."
