Despite Garcia’s attempts, Fręch demonstrated a remarkable ability to stay in control.

    As the match approached a potential third set following another break by Garcia, Fręch remained composed, retaliating against her opponent’s break. The intense showdown culminated in a tie-break, where Fręch emerged victorious in the crucial moments, securing a memorable win at the Australian Open.
