It is undoubtedly one of the most surprising news of the year. After announcing her retirement in 2024 and apparently ending her career at the Philippe Chatrier at Roland Garros on May 28, 2024, Alizé Cornet reappeared on the circuit without prior notice to confirm her participation in the WTA La Bisbal, among others. The former tennis player (now tennis player) from France opens up to give the pertinent explanations about her situation. Is she still active or will she retire again?

"I didn't want that to be a real ending," confessed Alizé in an interview with tennis.com. "Maybe I was scared of the idea that I couldn't come back if I wanted. I did so much in my career, and achieved so much, that I had no need to come back. I was very tired, exhausted from traveling and sports. The stress was too much for me. I really thought it was the end and that I was ready for the next chapter, and I was. I enjoyed it a lot for nine months."

What changed during that time to return to the circuit?

"I wanted to be on the court every day, I asked my boyfriend to play with me, and at one point he told me it was time to find partners to play with because he couldn't play every day. The biggest question mark for me was how my body would respond," said Alizé, who resumed training last February.

"After three weeks, I saw that everything was in order, I felt very good and went to train with a smile on my face every day. Then, I thought: 'Maybe it could be a good idea to come back a bit.' I was a bit afraid of being judged. I didn't know how people would react, or how I would see myself on the court again. The reality is that everyone is as excited as I am, so I'm very happy."
