Cornet wins the title in Gstaad

Alize Cornet wins her 6th career title, the 1st of the year in Gstaad.

The final against Mandy Minella was a complete roller coaster with Minella leading of 1 break in both sets. Mandy also had a 5-3 lead in the second set and 2 consecutive set points in the following tiebreak when she was leading 6-4, but eventually it was the Frenchwoman to conquer the last 4 points and win the match 6-4 7-6 (6).

2 and a half years with a title. CORNET

The last time that Alize won a title was back in 2016 when she defeated Genie Bouchard in the final in Hobart. Alize commented

“Two and a half years without a title. I have been through tough moments in these last two-and-a-half years, especially this last season was tough on me, so it means the world to me to have this title, to win here in Gstaad.”

In theory, Alize will now head to Moscow where she will face Laura Siegemund… if she has the energy.


6TH TITLE
