We are into one of the most important months of the tennis calendar. The Sunshine Double, consisting of tournaments in Indian Wells and Miami, takes place this month. It is known to be the toughest time for tennis players, as they have to battle high temperatures while sweating it out on the court. The main draw action begins in a few days, with the qualifying rounds already started. An exciting encounter between France’s Alize Cornet and America’s Clervie Ngounoue awaits fans.

There are many home-grown players vying for a spot in the main draw of the tournament. Ngounoue is one such star, who will look to dig deep in the tournament. Let’s find out how the odds stack up for the duo.

Clervie Ngounoue vs Alize Cornet: Comparing their form

Cornet is a seasoned professional and has appeared consistently across the big tournaments this year. However, she is having a rough patch and has had a disappointing run across the tournaments this season. Beginning with the Australian Open, she suffered a first-round defeat at the tournament. Subsequently, she managed to reach the round of 16 at the Winners Open. In the recently concluded ATX Open, she bowed out of the tournament in the opening round.

On the other hand, Ngounoue, a 17-year-old tennis sensation, is rising up the pecking order. She has been playing on the ITF circuit and also won a title in her native country earlier this year. Given the contrasting nature of both the players in terms of experience and form, it is set to be a thrilling encounter between them.
