Two days after entering the competition on the courts of Wimbledon, Alizé Cornet qualified without forcing too much for the third round by dismissing the American Claire Liu in two sets (6-3; 6-3). She joins Caroline Garcia and Diane Parry already qualified yesterday for the round of 16.
The Niçoise continues her journey after eliminating the No. 27 seed, the Kazakh Yulia Putintseva, at the start of the week. This is the fourth time in her career that she has reached this stage at the London Grand Slam.
Things will now get tougher for Alizé Cornet, in the 3rd round the 37th player in the world should face the Polish Iga Swiatek, world number 1 and undefeated on the circuit since last February.
