Alize Cornet in tears after she stuns Simona Halep to reach first ever Grand Slam quarter-final at the Australian Open
Alize Cornet made the quarter-finals of the Australian Open after beating No 14 seed Simona Halep 6-4 3-6 6-4 in stifling hot conditions on Rod Laver Arena. In the end Halep had no answer to Cornet’s relentless aggression all around the court and the Romanian was visibly suffering with heat exhaustion in the second set. Ad/> Cornet is into her first ever Grand Slam quarter-final on her 63rd major appearance and will play USA's Danielle Collins after she beat Elise Mertens in three sets.
