Alizé Cornet: "I Came Back to Have a Slightly Less Toxic Relationship with Tennis"

Since her surprise return to the competition at the beginning of April during an ITF tournament in Spain, Alizé Cornet had won two games, lost three of them and injured herself in the BJK Cup in the right triceps. On Monday, the 35-year-old French woman was competing her first round in Strasbourg, but without having the ambition to prepare for Roland-Garros, since she did not wish to take part in the Grand Slam Paris, where she had retired last …

After a weekend devoted to qualifications, the IS entered the spotlight this Monday with the continuation of the first round of the final table at the Wacken. At 11 a.m., the French woman Alizé Cornet (out of her retirement) opened the day against the Czech woman Marie Bouzkova but lost in two sets. The British woman Emma Raducanu, one of the tournament's stars, managed her entry into the competition.

After his retirement in early April, Alizé Cornet goes back to the reasons that led him to return to the circuit after ten months of absence. A return that is not obvious, as in the case of his defeat in the first round of the WTA 500 in Strasbourg on Monday against Marie Bouzkova (6-2, 6-1), but the 35-year-old Niçoise assures herself to be guided by the desire to regain the pleasure of playing tennis.
