Corne’s cry for qualification and the terrible moment with Dokic

Alize Corne had unique moments on Monday morning. The French tennis player (No. 61) in the world has qualified for the quarterfinals of the Australian Open with a great qualifier against Simona Halep. This was her first time in the top 8 of a Grand Slam in her 63rd attempt.

Immediately after the end of the game, Alize Corne burst into tears and took all the intensity out of the moment, while the interview with Jelena Dokic that followed was emotionally charged.

The pair have known each other since stepping onto the pitches together, with Dokic now taking on the role of commentator.

In fact, the two shared a story on court about a match they never had in 2009, as Corne failed to qualify for the quarterfinals of the 2009 tournament.

“I wanted to play you so badly, I was very disappointed. I liked your game so much, I was excited.” said France, No. 60 in the world, with tears in his eyes.

In fact, at the end of her remarks, she asked people to applaud Dokic for what she has accomplished both inside and outside the court.

“Congratulations on how you have shaped your life. You were a great player and now you’re a great commentator. he told her while Dokic rushed to hug her and cry too.
