Hurray, Cornet!

No. 7 seed Alize Cornet just knocked off No. 2 seed Daniela Hantuchova, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, in a quarterfinal match at Stadium Court.

Cornet won despite needing a medical timeout in the second set. She had just gone up, 4-3, in that set when she asked for a trainer. The trainer attended to her back, and eventually wrapped her thigh. After about 10 minutes, play resumed.

Cornet actually looked even better follwing the break, winning the second set then rallying back from a 4-1 deficit in the third to win the final five games. She'll face unseeded Carloine Wozniacki of Slovakia in tomorrow's semifinals.
