Evergreen Frenchwoman Alize Cornet burst into tears of relief and joy after finally advancing to the last eight at a grand slam at her 63rd attempt with an epic Australian Open win over Simona Halep.
After dropping the first set on a stinking hot Monday afternoon in Melbourne, the 14th-seeded Halep looked to have righted the ship when she reeled off six straight games, having gone 3-1 behind in the second.
