Alize Cornet will face Ajla Tomljanovic in the fourth round of Wimbledon on Monday. The Frenchwoman has won 15 out of 30 matches so far this season, with her most notable result being reaching the quarterfinals of the Australian Open.

During the grasscourt season, the 32-year-old suffered an opening-round exit at the bett1open in Berlin. However, she followed this up by reaching the semifinals of the Bad Homburg Open before losing to eventual champion Caroline Garcia.

Cornet started Wimbledon by beating 27th seed Yulia Putintseva 6-3, 7-6(5) in the first round and saw off Claire Liu in straight sets to set up a third-round clash against World No. 1 Iga Swiatek. The Frenchwoman scripted arguably the upset of the season by beating the Pole 6-4, 6-2 and breaking her 37-match winning streak.

Tomljanovic was unseeded at Wimbledon and reached the second round after beating 18th seed Jill Teichmann 6-2, 6-3. She then defeated Catherine Harrison 6-2, 6-2 to set up a third-round clash against 13th seed Barbora Krejcikova.

The 29-year-old came back from a set down to win 2-6, 6-4, 6-3 and reach the fourth round of Wimbledon for the second year running.

Alize Cornet vs Ajla Tomljanovic prediction

Both players have looked in good touch over the past week and the match promises to be an exciting one.

Cornet has struggled on grass before but she has done pretty well on the surface so far this season, winning six out of eight matches. The 32-year-old will enter the match brimming with confidence after ending Swiatek's winning streak. Tomljanovic's record on grass this season is identical to that of Cornet's

The Frenchwoman is a counterpuncher and has the defense to counter Tomljanovic's powerful shots. Cornet will look to force the Australian to make errors while also trying to dictate play from the baseline.

Tomljanovic has a good serve but she served eight double-faults against Krejcikova. The 29-year-old will have to serve a lot better against Cornet, who has a capable return of serve.

As far as prowess and form on grass is concerned, Tomljanovic seems the favorite to win. However, Cornet's recent performances on the surface have been impressive, notwithstanding her win against Swiatek. The Frenchwoman will be have to dig deep to find a way to win against the Australian but should be able to come through to register back-to-back Major quarterfinals.

Pick: Cornet to win in three sets.
