Alize Cornet commented on her (6-4, 6-2) victory over Iga Swiatek in the third round of Wimbledon. She broke the world’s number one’s 37-match winning streak.
I have no words. It reminds me of my victory over Serena eight years ago on this same court. This is my lucky court.
I have to say I’m a huge fan of Iga. She is such a talented, amazing tennis player and the face of women’s tennis. I’m honored to have beaten her.
I live and train for matches like this, it motivates me. And I believe I can win.
She’s won 37 matches in a row, but if there’s one place she can beat her, it’s on grass, where she’s a little bit less comfortable than on other surfaces. So I believed as much as I could, that I was motivated. And I had the best team and the best fans with me.
Now I’m having one of the best seasons of my career. I am enjoying the game and feeling good physically – more or less. And eight years after I first hit week two, I’m still motivated, the fire is still burning inside me, said Cornet
