Niçoise Alizé Cornet has no reason to regret. She logically yields to a ruthless player.
The game
For 1h30, the Niçoise was systematically overtaken by the very powerful and hard-hitting tennis of Danielle Collins. With this American, a single credo: all-out attack. Danielle Collins, ranked 30th in the world, plays high-risk tennis, without calculation. She hits, she hits, she hits again and again, always harder to finish the points in two or three strokes. It goes in so much the better, it comes out too bad. And there it came.
Overwhelmed, heckled, jostled,
Alizé Cornet endured the aggressiveness of Danielle Collins throughout the match. The Niçoise, constantly under pressure, has never managed to install her tennis and even less to organize herself. Alizé Cornet came out of the short KO standing, frustrated, disappointed, also convinced that today, there was nothing to do.
This defeat should not erase the excellent career of Alizé Cornet who, at 32, reached the quarter-finals of the Grand Slam for the first time. She will jump in the rankings, going from 61st to 37th in the world.
