In the first women’s singles quarterfinal at the 2022 US Open, fifth seed Ons Jabeur defeated Ajla Tomljanovic 6-4 7-6(4).
The world No.46 Tomljanovic fought back from 3-1 down to 3-3, but in the crucial seventh game Jabeur converted a break point with a lucky lob and kept the lead to win the first set.
In the second set, Tomljanovic twice recovered from a break down to get the score to 3-3. Just as it seemed that Tomljanovic would constantly be catching up, at best, the Australian won three consecutive games to establish a 5-3 lead.
