Bad Gastein, Austria -- No. 1-seed Alize Cornet rallied for a three-set win Thursday, a day when two other high seeds lost at the Gastein Ladies tennis tournament in Austria.
Cornet had her serve broken three times in the opening set before she came back for a 3-6, 6-4, 6-1 win over local favorite Patricia Mayr. Cornet was on the attack more after the first set and piled up seven service breaks taking the second-round match.
She advanced to Friday's quarterfinals against Barbora Zahlavova Strycova, who was a 6-3, 6-0 winner over Nuria Llagostera Vives in her Thursday match.
