In early August, we will welcome a little boy: Caroline Garcia is expecting her first child!

Remember: almost a year ago, Caroline Garcia caused a stir by announcing that she was ending her tennis career during the Roland-Garros tournament. This major turning point is retraced in the documentary “Roland-Garros – Between the Lines,” which will be broadcast in prime time this Thursday, May 14 on France 2. It is on this occasion that the former world number four has chosen to share some lovely news.

Far from the courts, the woman who married her love Borja Duran last July has opened a new chapter: Caroline Garcia is expecting her first child! “We are really happy: at the beginning of August, we will welcome a little boy,” she revealed exclusively to Gala on Wednesday, May 13.

Caroline Garcia: her excitement about becoming a mother

The Lyon champion expresses her eagerness to embark on this beautiful adventure: “We really want to start a family and become parents. It’s happening quickly! It’s going to be intense, but we are really looking forward to it. There are a lot of emotions, a lot of love, and of course a lot of changes too!” After years of traveling around the world for competitions, the thirty-year-old says she is welcoming this “new stage with its uncertainties.” Always with a strong mindset!

Of course, like many expectant mothers, Caroline Garcia admits she is “doing as much research as possible” with her loved ones to be ready for this huge change. But the former tennis star is not apprehensive about the arrival of this little boy: “You have to have self-confidence. Even though I don’t know this little boy yet, I already love him very much, and when he is here, I will do my best to help him grow up healthy.” She also highlights the importance of the future father’s role: “My husband is very supportive, he helps me, reassures me, does research, and we think together about how to educate our son.”
