Two things:
1. Genie is only in the main draw right now because Venus withdrew, otherwise she would have had to do qualifying. So good for her taking advantage of the opportunity, she needs the points right now.
2. They met in R4 at Wimbledon 2014 after Cornet beat Serena. Cornet being the last to beat Serena in a major before Vinci ended the calendar slam. Both those loses make total sense for Serena considering where she was in between those loses.
