This French teenager sprang to prominence this year thanks to a superb claycourt campaign. She made the semi-finals in both Charleston and Amelia Island before reaching her first Tier I final in Rome, beating four seeds as a qualifier. Has yet to claim a WTA title and that duck won't be broken here, but Cornet is one to follow in the coming years. With a name like hers, the headline writers are sure be keeping an eye open.
