Cornet advances to the quarterfinals at the WTA 125 in La Bisbal

After a comeback to competition where she only conceded three games, Alizé Cornet faced a tougher challenge this Thursday against Susan Bandecchi.

The Frenchwoman needed three sets and 2h54 of play to overcome the 199th-ranked player 3-6, 6-4, 7-5 and reach the quarterfinals in La Bisbal d'Emporda.

A hard-fought victory (she was trailing 6-4, 3-1) will allow Cornet to return to the Top 500 on Monday, being ranked at worst 472nd in the world, even though she is currently using her protected ranking.

She will face Dalma Galfi, ranked No. 159 in the WTA, in an attempt to reach the semifinals of the tournament.
