Ons Jabeur is the first US Open semifinalist. The Tunisian, who only reached her first final at Grand Slam level in Wimbledon, showed a very strong performance against Ajla Tomljanovic and is now waiting for the winner of the duel between Coco Gauff and Caroline Garcia, who played the second quarter-finals on Wednesday night of the day will be disputed.
In a balanced game, Jabeur managed the first break of the match, which the North African finally managed to win the set 6:4. However, Tomljanovic showed himself to be combative, gained the upper hand in set two and had the chance to equalize the set at 5:3 with his own serve. However, Jabeur fought back, holding her serve twice under pressure at 4-5 and 5-6 and sending the match into a tie-break.
Jabeur writes history
In this, Tomljanovic was the better player at first, but made an avoidable mistake to make it 3:3. Jabeur knew how to use this, stepped up after the change of sides and won two match points when the score was 6:4. In the first, a backhand by Tomljanovics landed in the net - after a little more than one and a half hours of play, Jabeur secured the deserved 6: 4 and 7: 6 (4) success.
Ons Jabeur is also continuing to write history: the 28-year-old Tunisian is the first African since the introduction of professional tennis in 1968 to reach the semi-finals of the US Open. Ajla Tomljanovic, on the other hand, knocked out New York's Serena Williams in the third round and then made it to the quarter-finals of the tournament for the first time.
