Alizé Cornet lost out to Elena Rybakina in what she later confirmed to French press was her final Wimbledon, but she wasn't too pleased with her treatment at SW19.
Cornet confirmed the disparity between what was given for her round one match and her Centre Court match and how big players get preferential treatment.
This was evidenced with her confirming that she couldn't even invite her best friend who was in the area due to only getting two tickets compared to 40 for Round Two.
"For me the biggest issue on this tournament was, yeah, the difference between today I played on Centre Court, and I had basically 40 tickets to give away," she said.
"On my first round I had two. Nobody could come," she added.
"I couldn't even invite like one of my best friends who was there. Two tickets on the outside court, it's too little. Then you have a huge gap and you get 40 when you play on Centre Court.
"You need to give a little more credit to players that play on the outside courts. This tournament exists because of all the players, not only the ones that play on the big courts," she added.
In further shots towards the tournament, she said that US Open is better as you at least get up to six tickets even for the smaller matches and how it's not only the big names that should benefit.
"It [US Open] is better. No, the biggest gap is here in Wimbledon. In the other tournaments you get like four, six, you know, at least a little bit to invite your friends," she concluded.
A famous giant killer in recent years and a horror draw for the big names, she is coming towards the end of her career not a fan of the treatment of those players she has beaten regularly.
Alize Cornet unhappy with amount of Wimbledon tickets: “Today I played on Centre & had 40 tickets to give. On R1 I had 2. I couldn’t invite my best friend. You need to give more credit to players on outside courts. The event exists bc of all players, not just big court players”
