Voegele was replaced by Bacsinszky and Cornet beat her in straight sets and then won the deciding doubled with Mladenovic over Bacsinszky/Bencic to bring France to the WG playoffs
Nice for Alize to get the deciding point in the doubles.
It seems that Bencic is reasonably tough, still it would have been disappointing for Alize to lose against her, so to get revenge against her in doubles and win the tie must have felt good.
Incredible result! First time she has beaten a world #1. Alize will play Venus in the final...last person to beat both Williams sisters in the same tournament was Jankovic in 2010.
So she beat Halep, Flipkens, CSN, and Serena all without dropping a set
Best of luck in the final, nothing to lose! But if she wins she goes back into the top 20 for the first time since 2009!
I have become a fan, but she must stop the tears on court. The commentators were annoying the hell out of me in Dubai- "everyone wanted a Williams final?" Not me, I just wish Alize could have kicked both Williams butts. Great tournament for Cornet, no doubt. Hope she has a great year, I really enjoy watching her - like her game, her smile, her spirit, great looker!
