Alize Cornet has become the talk of the town after she defeated defending champion Emma Raducanu in the ongoing 2022 US Open. However, many tennis lovers still ask who Alize Cornet is and want to know the person managing her. You will find this out in this article as you read on.

Alize Cornet is a French-born female tennis player who began her career in 2006 at 16. She was born on the 22nd of February 1990 in Nice, France, to the family of Francis and Patricia Cornet.  She started playing tennis at four after watching her brother and agent, Sebastian, play the game.

She proceeded into her career development in the Junior Category and achieved a junior career highest ranking of 8 in both Singles and Doubles categories. She also won the 2007 French Open during this period.

Alize became a pro in 2006 and started making waves in 2014 when she defeated Serena Williams in three consecutive meetings within a single year. The first was during the Dubai Championships in straight sets, and then made a comeback at the Wimbledon Championships to defeat the Americans for the second time in the year. She wrapped up her back-to-back victories over Serena at the Wuhan Open, where Serena retired due to an illness.

She currently has the highest consecutive appearances (63) at Grand Slam tournaments and ranks 7th for overall appearances with 66. Alize has won 6 Singles titles and 3 Doubles titles at the WTA and has 3 Singles titles and 3 Doubles titles at the ITF circuit.

The 32-year-old ranks 40 in the world at the moment in the Singles category and 63 in the Doubles. She made her career highest ranking of 11 in February 2009.

Who Is The Current Coach Of Alize Cornet?

The current coach of Alize Cornet is Nicolas Beuque. She started working with the Frenchman just before the US Open, although this is not yet known to many sources on the net.

Nicolas was an ex-professional tennis player though he never reached the top 1000 in both Singles and Doubles ranking categories. He was known to have been the coach of Ons Jabeur at the Mouratoglou Tennis Academy in 2015, where Alize currently trains.

He also worked with Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in 2020 and Yarina Wickmayer between 2016 and 2017.

Previous Coaches Of Alize Cornet

Alize has worked with several coaches in her career; some are well-known, while others have little or no recorded details. Most of her coaches have come from Mouratoglou Tennis Academy.

Here are some of the previous coaches of Alize Cornet;

Sandra Zaniewska

When you search the internet, many sources still identify Sandra Zaniewska as the current coach of Alize Cornet. However, this has changed according to the information we got from the profile of Alize on the WTA’s official website.  Alize and Sandra started working together towards the end of 2019 before Nicolas took over late last month (August 2022).

Sandra was an ex-professional Polish tennis player and participated in more ITF circuits with only one Grand Slam appearance in 2018. She won 10 ITF Singles titles and attained a career highest ranking of 142 in this category. The tennis player won 7 ITF titles for the Doubles category and achieved a career highest ranking of 203.

She did not record any title with Alize but was able to guide her to the final of the 2021 Chicago 250 and 2022 Berlin Open (Doubles).

Pierre Bouteyre

Pierre Bouteyre was a former professional French tennis player and now a coach. He once worked with Alize between 2000 and 2010 before they decided to revive the partnership again in 2018. The relationship lasted for just a year as they parted way in 2019.

Pierre is so far the most successful coach of Alize, with most of her successes coming during the first part of their relationship. He led her to a career highest ranking of 11 in 2009 and her first professional title. During their partnership, she also won an international title, the 2019 Fed Cup.

After their second split up due to loss of form, Alize took to her Twitter handle and tweeted the following, “Pierre and I decided to put an end to our collaboration. Difficult decision with someone so special to my heart, but necessary for our evolution. Thank you for everything.”

During his coaching career, Pierre has also worked with Fiona Ferro, who recently pressed charges against him for rape and sexual assault.

George Goven

Alize has also worked with George Goven during her career. We could not figure out exactly when the relationship started, although it seems George took charge of her around 2016 when he was the captain of the French Cup or when she split up with Benjamin Ebrahimzadah.

George also coaches Kristina Mladenovic and has been the France Fed Cup Team captain since 2005.

Benjamin Ebrahimzadah

Benjamin Ebrahimzadah was assigned to coach Alize by the owner of her training base in Nice, Mouratoglou Tennis Academy. The owner of the academy, Patrick Mouratoglou, suggested she works with Benjamin after her split up with Biljana Veselinovic.

Their relationship was smooth as she won a title in the first tournament she participated in at the 2016 Hobart Open.

Biljana Veselinovic

She also worked with Biljana Veselinovic, probably after she split up with Pierre Bouteyre in 2010. The relationship ended after the 2015 Wimbledon Open when Alize lost her form. She decided to move on and contacted Patrick Mouratoglou for restructuring.

Their partnership was amazing in the early stages since she won several titles with him and recorded three consecutive wins over Serena Williams under him.
