French tennis player Caroline Garcia recently took to Instagram to share her opinion of the image used by ESPN during the broadcast of the 2022 US Open Round of 16. It was all in good spirits though, as suggested by the use of laughing emojis in the Instagram story.

Garcia joked that she found it difficult to recognize herself in the photo and that she would like ESPN to use a different one.

"Please @espn I request a change of picture 😂😅 I don't even recognize myself", posted Garcia.

All four of Garcia's victories in this tournament have been in straight sets. The former top-5 player was ranked outside the top-50 ahead of the grasscourt swing but has seen a resurgence in form; she has returned to the top-20 and is seeded 17th at the US Open this year.

Caroline Garcia made it through to the quarterfinals of the 2022 edition of the US Open after she defeated home favorite Alison Riske-Amritraj 6-4, 6-1. Garcia has been in fine form so far as she is yet to lose a set in this year's competition.

The 28-year-old has been one of the players to watch in recent times. She won the Cincinnati Masters last month, making it her third title win of the year.

Garcia is set to face young American star Coco Gauff in the quarterfinals.

The Frenchwoman has won a total of 10 singles titles in her career so far, as well as two Major doubles titles - the French Open in 2016 and 2022, both times alongside Kristina Mladenovic. Garcia is on track to getting back near the top of the rankings; she achieved her career-best of World No. 4 back in 2018.

The Frenchwoman is yet to reach the last four of a Grand Slam event, and her run to the quarterfinals at the US Open this year is her second showing at this stage at a Major. Garcia will hope to reach her maiden Slam semifinal but has a tough test ahead against the 12th-seeded Gauff.
