Jabeur Defeats Kudermetova
Jabeur couldn’t have picked a better time than the US Open R16 to earn her first win over Veronika Kudermetova. By that very same token, the Tunisian reaches her first-ever US Open quarterfinals.

Jabeur took the 7-6 (1), 6-4 win, recovering from a slow start to win in straight sets. She served brilliantly on the day, serving up 11 aces and 69 percent of first serves. She won 70 percent of her first serve points and broke on all three break-point opportunities. She defended well too, swatting away two of four break points for Kudermetova.
Unseeded Tomljanovic Through to Quarters
Tomljanovic couldn’t have scripted a better run for herself at the US Open, including the highlight of defeating Serena Williams in prime time at Arthur Ashe stadium. Tomljanovic never played Williams before their R32 match and she was a considerable underdog according to the betting online markets.
Often players who aren’t expected to win do will fall victim to the dreaded hangover effect immediately after a big upset. Tomljanovic, however, proved to be the exception to this rule
The unseeded 27-year-old Australian went on to win her next match against Ludmilla Samsonova in straight sets, 7-6 (8), 6-1. She withstood a tough first set to come through in the tiebreaker but then ran away with the second set convincingly.
Tomljanovic served one ace and 64 percent of first serves. She won 66 percent of first-serve points and broke on four of five break-point opportunities. She also defended superbly as she quashed eight of 10 break-point opportunities against her serve.

Jabeur vs Tomljanovic Prediction
This will be a fascinating contest between two players that are strong baseliners and exceptional movers. The rallies are likely to be longer and the margin wafer thin. It wouldn’t be surprising if it went the distance and pushed the total over 22.
As far as the outright win goes, the tennis betting markets corner this game with Jabeur for good reason. She’s the in-form player and a recent Wimbledon finalist. But Tomljanovic comes into this match brimming with confidence after her big upset over Serena and Samsonova. If she can beat Serena, it follows that she can beat Jabeur too.
Insofar as this is more of a toss-up than the odds markets would have it, we’re still backing the favorite to win.
