In the first round of the US Open, Alize Cornet defeated defending champion Emma Raducanu 6-3, 6-3, continuing her excellent run in Majors in 2022. After breaking Japan’s Ai Sugiyama’s previous record of 62 consecutive appearances, the 32-year-old Frenchwoman is playing in her 63rd consecutive Grand Slam singles draw. Cornet referred dubbed herself as “the upset-girl” after ending Emma Raducanu’s US Open title defence, claiming she was only putting on a show for the New York audience. She will face a tough test in Katerina Siniakova in the second round of the 2022 US Open.
“I think I played a pretty solid match,” Cornet said. “I had to because Emma is a very good player. She didn’t win a slam for nothing. I know how she can play. I was ready for tonight. This year I’m kind of the upset-girl. I know people were rooting for Emma a lot, but I was really trying to put on a show and take them with me. It kind of worked in the end. I just hope they’re going to be behind me for the second round.”
Alize Cornet and Katerina Siniakova are scheduled to face one another in the second round match of the US Open 2022 on Thursday, September 1. The 2022 US Open is all set to begin from August 29 till September 11.
