it always kind of looked like she knew what that was an Jabeur did not. But actually, the point about having fun win or lose is crucial too because having won a major, she now knows she can and also that she won’t finish her career without; Ons can’t say the same, and that stress tells.she knows the crowd love her, she cheers for Ons when not playing her, and she loved the atmosphere, telling herself when she went to the toilet mid-match that “this is really fun, win or lose.
Novak Djokovic, when up a break, often tanks receiving games so his opponent isn’t in rhythm to try and break back, and though that’s not what happened here, her opponent is running out of road.Jabeur just doesn’t look able to hang with her in normal play – she either finds a buzz, quickly, or she’s jiggered – and that just doesn’t look likely.
Jabeur might not be playing as well as before, but Gauff’s second serve and forehand aren’t better now than they were at the start. And she gets a second serve to attack too, a backhand cross setting up a definitive forehand winner to make deuce, then another second serve nailed to restore it from advantage. Jabeur isn’t playing as well now, even if aces down the T raise two further game-points; Gauff saves the first, but a superb wrong-footing backhand, inside-out and on to the line, means Jabeur is again clenching fist as she secures the hold. Momentum, though, might just be switching.
