Caroline Garcia into QF of the french open 2017. Alizé Cornet out

PARIS, France
Caroline Garcia thrilled the home crowd by becoming the second French woman into the Roland Garros quarterfinals, surviving a tense two-setter with countrywoman, Alizé Cornet, 6-2, 6-4.

Garcia was playing in the second week of a Grand Slam for the first time in her career while Cornet had reached the fourth round for the second time in two years after crushing No.9 seed Agnieszka Radwanska earlier in the week. The duo were evenly matched through the first four games, with Cornet getting the first break point in the third game.
