Alize Cornet, aged 34, revealed in an interview on Canal+ that she will conclude her professional tennis career by competing in front of a home crowd at the 2024 French Open.
The former world No.11 Cornet, with an impressive Open Era record of competing in 68 consecutive Grand Slam tournaments, will retire following her 69th consecutive major appearance, a streak that started at the 2007 Australian Open. Cornet’s Grand Slam journey began at just 15 years old when she made her main-draw debut at Roland Garros in 2005. Two decades later, she will bid farewell to her beloved sport at the same venue.
