Wimbledon 2023 results: Elena Rybakina wins over Alize Cornet, advances to third round

Posted : 07 July 2023
Defending Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina advanced to the third round after a hard-fought victory over Alize Cornet, who suffered from an injury during the match. Rybakina, representing Kazakhstan, claimed the first set, but faced a tight battle in the second set before Cornet fell heavily and injured her already-strapped right leg.
 
Despite receiving treatment, Cornet continued to play, but it was Rybakina who emerged triumphant with a 6-2, 7-6 (7-2) victory. In the next round, Rybakina will face Britain's Katie Boulter.
 
Cornet, ranked 74th in the world, has a history of causing upsets at Wimbledon, including defeating Serena Williams in 2014 and ending Iga Swiatek's winning streak last year. However, she appeared uncomfortable from the start against Rybakina, displaying signs of frustration throughout the match.
 
Rybakina dominated the first set, winning it in just 26 minutes, while Cornet struggled to make an impact against her opponent's strong serve. The momentum shifted in the second set, with both players holding their serves. Rybakina faced some frustrations of her own, making unforced errors.
 
At 5-5, Rybakina saved multiple break points in an intense game before Cornet's fall. After receiving medical attention, Cornet returned to the court, displaying limited mobility. Despite her struggles, she managed to force a tie-break.

However, Rybakina capitalized on Cornet's restricted movement and secured the victory in the breaker. The two players shared a warm handshake at the conclusion of the match.
