Alizé Cornet wins the 500th victory of her career
[ad_1]
Alizé Cornet qualified for the second round of the Cleveland Open by dominating the Ukrainian Dayana Yastremska (6-2, 6-1). But more than the simple result, it is the symbolism of this victory that we will remember because it is the 500th of the Niçoise on the WTA circuit.
A victory that comes at the right time for Cornet who had struggled since his round of 16 at Wimbledon since she had won only two matches in three tournaments this summer. This career step symbolizes the combative state of mind of the one who was still French No. 1 a few weeks ago, at 32 years old.
In a few days, on the occasion of the US Open which begins on August 29, Cornet will have the opportunity to mark his sport a little more by becoming the record holder for participation in the Grand Slam. For now, with 62 uninterrupted appearances since 2006, she holds the mark along with Ai Sugiyama.
