PARIS: Alize Cornet was at the centre of a cheating storm after she was accused of faking injury by an opponent. Cornet called for a medical timeout and required treatment during changeovers in the final set of her second round clash against Germany’s Tatjana Maria. At one stage, the 26-year-old, grimacing in pain, was helped off court to her chair by a trainer and tournament supervisor. But Maria believed that Cornet was deliberately playing for time in order to allow her cramping to ease.

Cornet insisted she was not a cheat.
