Ons Jabeur survives wobble to topple Ajla Tomljanović in US Open last eight

• Wimbledon finalist beats Australian 6-4, 7-6 (4)
• Jabeur was 5-3 down in second set before clinching tiebreak

Ons Jabeur seemed to be well on her way to a first US Open semi-final when she faced some complications and became increasingly frustrated, tossing her racket around. Jabeur had controlled her quarter-final match against Ajla Tomljanovi for much of its duration, establishing a set and a break lead, but a few loose errors arrested her momentum. From 3-2 in the second set, she trailed 5-3, a deciding set closing in.

In the past, the second set would have certainly fallen and possibly also the match, but Jabeur is a different player these days. Down 5-3, she refused to miss in the pivotal moments and beat Tomljanovi 6-4, 7-6 (4) to make the last four.
