After conceding a 6-2 in the first set against defending champion Elena Rybakina, Alizé Cornet held up well in the second act on Center Court at Wimbledon in her second round. But at the end of the round, the Niçoise suffered a very bad fall following a bad recovery of support. Holding her knee and in tears, the Niçoise took a long medical time out to have her knee strapped. She still finished the match by losing logically in the decisive game.
