The Frenchwoman performed well at the Australian Open and reached her first-ever Grand Slam quarter-final. She also made it to the semifinals at the Bad Homburg Open and the Tennis in the Land Tournament. At Wimbledon, Cornet stunned World No. 1 Iga Swiatek and ended her 37-game winning streak. However, Cornet’s season can be termed average as she exited in the first rounds in several tournaments.

The 32-year-old made the headlines with her first win at this year’s US Open. It came against the defending champion Emma Raducanu. Cornet defeated the 19-year-old in straight sets. In the second round, Cornet faced Katerina Siniakova and won the match 6-1, 1-6, 6-3.

The 28-year-old avenged her loss in the first round of the US Open as she defeated the Japanese star in straight sets 7-6 (7-5), 6-3. In the second round, she defeated the Spaniard Cristina Bucsa 6-2, 7-5 with relative ease.
