After the memorable win in the match, 32-year-old Elise Cornet said- “It is a matter of great pride for me to win this match against Iga. I mean, what they have achieved this year is really big and I believe It is not happening that I am the one who has actually broken their winning streak. It is amazing.

Recall that last month, world number 1 player Inga Svitek won the French Open title. In the final of the tournament, Iga defeated Coco Gauff of America 6-1, 6-3.
