Alizé Cornet (French pronunciation: [a.li.ze koʁ.ne], born 22 January 1990) is a French professional tennis player.
Cornet has won five singles and three doubles titles on the WTA tour in her career, as well as three singles and three doubles titles on the ITF tour in her career. On 16 February 2009, she reached her best singles ranking of world number 11. On 7 March 2011, she peaked at world number 59 in the doubles rankings.
During the 2014 season, Cornet became known for defeating world number 1 and 20-time Grand Slam singles champion Serena Williams on three occasions. At the Dubai Tennis Championships, she recorded a straight-sets win over Williams in the semifinals, which resulted in Cornet's accession to the Dubai final for the very first time. In July, she came from a set down to beat the American in what was also her best Wimbledon result to date. She recorded victory once more at the inaugural Wuhan Open, moving past Williams after she was forced to retire in the opening set due to viral illness. (She was, however, trailing Williams 5-6 in the first set at the time of the retirement.)
After her victory at Wimbledon, Cornet explained her strategy in defeating the World No. 1 player:[1] "I was taking more on the first shot because Serena is very good on the first shot, like serves, returns. I was trying to make the rallies last a little bit longer and at the same time when I had a chance, I tried to be aggressive. I was trying to make her run. Everyone knows it's (running) not her best quality."
Cornet also has an extensive juniors record, having won the Girls' Singles title at the 2007 French Open.[2]
