Alizé Cornet (French pronunciation: [a.li.ze\kɔʁ.nɛ], born 22 January 1990) is a French professional tennis player.
Cornet has won five singles and three doubles titles on the WTA tour in her career, as well as three singles and three doubles titles on the ITF tour in her career. On 16 February 2009, she reached her best singles ranking of world number 11. On 7 March 2011, she peaked at world number 59 in the doubles rankings.
During the 2014 season, Cornet became known for defeating world number 1 and 20-time Grand Slam singles champion Serena Williams on three occasions. At the Dubai Tennis Championships, she recorded a straight-sets win over Williams in the semifinals, which resulted in Cornet's accession to the Dubai final for the very first time. In July, she came from a set down to beat the American in what was also her best Wimbledon result to date. She recorded victory once more at the inaugural Wuhan Open, moving past Williams.
Cornet also has an extensive juniors record, having won the Girls' Singles title at the 2007 French Open. Like several other tennis professionals, Cornet's playing style includes grunting.
She made her Grand Slam debut at the French Open in 2005 and made it to the second round, where she lost to Amélie Mauresmo. In 2006, she reached the second round again by beating Virginia Ruano Pascual of Spain in the first round. She could not repeat this performance in 2007, as she lost in the first round to Venus Williams. Cornet was defeated in the Wimbledon 2007 qualifying event by Olga Govortsova, but made it to the main draw as a lucky loser when Li Na withdrew. Cornet reached the second round before being defeated by the experienced Ai Sugiyama in three sets. Also in 2007, she won a $50000 ITF tournament in Dnipropetrovsk, beating Stefanie Vögele in the final. In the 2007 US Open, Cornet lost to Jelena Janković in the third round.
