Ons Jabeur succeeded, last night, the feat of reaching the last square of the US Open after having beaten in two sets (6-4, 7-6) the Australian, Ajla Tomljanović.
In a match where she was more enterprising than her opponent, Ons Jabeur, 5th in the WTA ranking, but who should find 2nd place in the world after the US Open, qualified for her second semi-final in a row in Grand Colem, she who had never exceeded the quarter-quarter in major tournaments until her final in Wimbledon, two months ago.
In the quarterfinals of the US Open, it was simply stronger and more realistic than the Australian Ajla Tomljanovic, 46th WTA. Less powerful but more twinning, the Tunisian held her match from start to finish without having been really brilliant. Above all, she has shown a lot of solidity.
Tomorrow, ons Jabeur, has a new appointment. She will face the French Caroline Garcia, 17th in the world, who got rid of the American Cori Gauff in two sets (6-3, 6-4) offering her first semi-final in Grand Chelem.
Ons Jabeur and Caroline Garcia know each other very well for having already faced himself six times between 2010 and 2020 including twice at the US Open. During these six oppositions, it was every time ons Jabeur who took over. A good omen for tomorrow, but beware of the French, whose tennis has been very verve in recent weeks.
