A feat, a real one!
Alizé Cornet, 61st in the world, qualified Monday in oppressive heat for the quarter-finals of the Australian Open, a stage she reached for the first time at 32 in a Grand Slam tournament, beating Romania's Simona Halep (15th) 6-4, 3-6, 6-4.
The Frenchwoman, who is participating in her 60th Major without having missed a single one since the 2007 Australian Open and her 63rd overall, will face the American Danielle Collins (30th) on Wednesday for a place in the semi-finals.
