Cornet vs Garcia: prediction for the WTA Bad Homburg match

No one expected to see Alize Cornet in the semi-final of Bad Homburg tournament. French player got off to an unsuccessful start in grass tournament at Berlin, losing to Kalinskaya (4:6, 4:6). Overall, grass is surely not the favourite surface for an experienced French player. 

However, Cornet managed to improve her performance at Bad Homburg after an unsuccessful Berlin tournament. Alize started with a sweet revenge over Kalinskaya (6:2, 6:4). In the second round Cornet secured a narrow victory over Maria (7:6, 6:4). In the quarter-final Cornet managed to beat the reigning champion of the tournament, Kerber (6:4, 2:6, 6:1). 

Caroline Garcia is also an unexpected guest in the semi-final of Bad Homburg. In 2022, French player had only one deep run into the main draw. It happened at indoor Lyon tournament in March. 

Garcia started the competition with a narrow victory over Sasnovich (2:6, 6:3, 6:4). In two next rounds a former World No. 4 player easily beat Rakhimova and Lisicki. Garcia didn't lose a single set in these matches.
