While the Frenchwoman is yet to win a singles title this year, she rose to prominence on the back of her consistent performance. She reached the semifinals in WTA Stuttgart and WTA Madrid, which she followed with a quarterfinal run in the Italian Open.
However, it is worth noting that Garcia last played in the Wimbledon and it will be interesting to see how she resumes her season in New Haven.
World No. 8 Petra Kvitova is also going to participate in the WTA New Haven 2018. She has already won a remarkable five titles this season, two of which were the Madrid Open and WTA Doha.
She is sailing high on confidence and momentum, although like Garcia, she too last played in the Wimbledon. With U.S Open right around the corner, it will be crucial for the two players to kick-start their preparations on a high note.
Furthermore, the defending champion Daria Gavrilova is also set to feature in the Connecticut Open 2018. Her record, as of July, stands at 18-16 with no singles title.
She hasn’t been in that great a form, to say the least, and is quite likely to face difficulties in defending her title. Other participants in the tournament are Agnieszka Radwanska, Carla Suarez Navarro, Johanna Konta, Kiki Bertens, Julia Goerges, and Dominika Cibulkova.
In latest news, former world number one Karolina Pliskova has also agreed to participate in the competition along with Coco Vandeweghe, which completes the 30-woman strong draw.
