After three very solid matches at the Open 35 de Saint-Malo, Alizé Cornet’s journey ended in the semi-finals. She was defeated by the revelation Loïs Boisson in three sets.
Yet the match had started well. More incisive at crucial moments, Alizé Cornet pulled ahead at the end of the first set. Combative, the player from the French Riviera didn’t give up against her young compatriot. She took the first set by saving a break point (6-3).
But that didn’t account for the youthful energy embodied by Loïs Boisson. Having been on an 18-match winning streak on the challenger circuit, she was not intimidated by her opponent’s 68 consecutive participations. A specialist on clay, the one who represents the future of French tennis didn’t give the player from Nice any chance of making a comeback in the match. Possibly physically worn out, Alizé Cornet couldn’t counter her opponent.
Loïs Boisson ultimately won in three sets (3-6 / 6-1 / 6-4) in 2 hours and 16 minutes and will face Chloé Paquet in the final. The future is secured!
