France’s Caroline Garcia will take on Argentina’s Nadia Podoroska in the group stage of the 2023 United Cup

Caroline Garcia is coming into this tournament after some commendable results in 2022. She finished the year with runners-up finish at the WTA finals, where she lost to Aryna Sabalenka. During her incredible run to the finals, Garcia defeated top seed Iga Swiatek and other higher-ranked players like Coco Gauff and Maria Sakkari.

Garcia ended the year on a high and that will certainly be a major boost for her coming into this event in Australia. The French ace also did well in the last Grand Slam of 2022, the US Open. Despite only being seeded no.17, Garcia made it to the semi-finals of the tournament but eventually lost to Ons Jabeur. Garcia would look to draw inspiration from these performances last and being 2023 on a positive note.

Nadia Podoroska’s form coming into the match

Nadia Podoroska will represent Argentina in this mixed-gender team tournament. Podoroska is more regular in the ITF arena than the WTA circuit and lacks experience in playing enough against the big girls. Her last professional event was the WTA 125K tournament in Buenos Aires, where she played on home turf but could only make it to the Round of 16. The Argentine will certainly face an uphill task against Garcia in Australia.
