Cornet is seeded fourth for this event. A veteran of many seasons, the French player has not been in the best of touches in the last few seasons, and that has reflected in her ranking which has tumbled outside the top 50. Cornet would hope that this clay court season ahead gives her the required impetus to get back into the top 20 or even top 10.

Her performances this year have been slowly improving. In the Charleston Open she reached the Round of sixteen and on the way beat world no.17 Elise Mertens in straight sets, 7-5 6-3. Her first round opponent is fifteen year old Linda Fruhvirtova. Fruhvirtova is just starting out on the ladies tour. In the past few weeks she has won two back to back ITF Titles. She participated in the Miami Open but failed to reach the main draw

Once ranked as high as no.11 in the world, Cornet is on the last legs of her career. But, as we have seen, players go through a good run of form towards the end of their career and Cornet will hope for just that.

Cornet has been to the Fourth Round of the French Open twice before, and has the game on clay. Young Fruhvirtova is here for the experience, and even if she loses, she will learn something from that too. 

Match Prediction: A straight sets victory for Alize Cornet.
