Alizé Cornet continues in Cleveland against Clara Tauson

And one that makes 501. The French Alizé Cornet, 37th in the WTA rankings, obtained the 501st victory of her career by dominating the Danish Clara Tauson (58th in the world) in the round of 16 of the Cleveland tournament (6-3, 7-6 [1]).

The Frenchwoman was the only one to get a break in the first set. She also had the guts to fend off two break points when serving at 5-3. The following was more difficult since Tauson escaped (3-0) before Cornet reacted to pick up at 3-3. The Niçoise had to save three set points on her engagement at 4-5 before controlling the tie-break without shuddering (7-1).
