Wimbledon: Cornet and Tan eliminated in the round of 16, there are no more French people in the running

Cornet was beaten by Australian Ajla Tomljanovic (44th) 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 and will therefore not do better than in 2014 when she reached the 8th of the Major on grass for the first time.

The 32-year-old Frenchwoman showed signs of pain in her thighs at times.

But as usual, she did not give up and fought until the end.

For her part, Tan, who had beaten Serena Williams in the first round, was more clearly dominated by the American Amanda Anisimova (25th) 6-2, 6-3.
