French Open: Azarenka rallies past Cornet

Former No. 1 Victoria Azarenka overcame a slow start and 10 double-faults Saturday to rally past Frenchwoman Alize Cornet 4-6, 6-3, 6-1 and reach the fourth round of the French Open. Seeded third, Azarenka advanced despite being broken six times. She blew an easy overhead to lose the first game of the final set, then swept the last six games thanks to relentless baseline play that wore down Cornet. The center court stands were half-empty for the early match. Crowds will likely be bigger for Azarenka next match, and so will the stakes.
