Sorry to hurt your tennis sensibility on this one and only point of the match but I guess you're just doing what you can after 3 HOURS of match 🤷🏼♀️
"I guess you're just doing what you can after 3 HOURS of match": Cornet responds after criticism of 'moonball rally' during Tomova tie
WTAWednesday, 24 May 2023 at 22:00
Alizé Cornet responded to the criticism following a "moonball rally" with Viktoriya Tomova in 2023 Internationaux Strasbourg.
The French player made her debut in the WTA 250 Strasbourg tournament against Bulgarian Tomova. Cornet won the first set but struggled to maintain her dominance and her serving percentage dropped significantly. In fact, she committed 13 double faults and gave away 17 break point opportunities to her opponent throughout the match.
Tomova ultimately won the match 3-6, 6-4, 7-5, and the match had moments of tension before concluding. With Tomova serving for the match (at 5-3), the players engaged in a 38-shot rally with a significant number of "moonballs" in an exchange that Cornet eventually won. Although she managed to break back and level the score at 5-5, a new break by the world No. 71 secured her passage to the next round.
After receiving criticism from fans regarding the particular rally, Cornet responded to a comment on Twitter.
“They deserve to be fined for this point,” the fan wrote.
"Sorry to hurt your tennis sensibility on this one and only point of the match but I guess you're just doing what you can after 3 HOURS of match," Cornet respond.
After being eliminated in the first round, Cornet is traveling to France to compete in the French Open, where she has reached the second round on four occasions.
