End of career for Alizé Cornet, eliminated in the first round
Alizé Cornet, 107th in the world, was eliminated as soon as she entered the fray at Roland-Garros, beaten 6-2, 6-1 by the Chinese Qinwen Zheng (8th) finalist of the last Australian Open, for what was the last match of his career on Tuesday. The time for retirement has therefore come for the 34-year-old Frenchwoman, who made the Paris meeting her very last tournament. In addition to six singles titles to her name, she holds the record for the number of Grand Slams played in a row (69), a series that began at the Australian Open in 2007.
