The veteran player has been a staple on tour since turning pro in 2006, winning six WTA singles titles during her career. Furthermore, the former World No.11 also holds some signature wins over top-ranked players, defeating WTA legend Serena Williams on three consecutive occasions in 2014, with one win coming at Wimbledon.
Cornet hints at retirement in Instagram post
In a recent Instagram story, the 33-year old alluded to the 2024 season being her last on tour. Additionally, she implied she would likely hang up her racket at the conclusion of the Olympic Games, which take place in her homeland of Paris, France.
"Now my goal is still to get back for a little ride before the end of my career, so I'm saying to you soon (really really soon) for new adventures! And a final season?" quizzed Cornet on Instagram.
