Ons Jabeur (5th in the world), finalist of the last Wimbledon, qualified for the 3rd round of the US Open, beating (7-5, 6-2) the American Elizabeth Mandlik (144th), Wednesday in New York . The 28-year-old Tunisian has reached this stage of the event for the fourth time in a row, which she has never yet passed. She will face another American, Shelby Rogers (31st), who fell from the Slovak Viktoria Kuzmova (183rd), after qualifying 7-5, 6-1.
Jabeur was pushed around in the first act. Trailing 5-4 after being broken a second time by Mandlik, who found herself two balls from the set, she nevertheless managed to reverse the situation, taking the opposing serve twice in a row. Winner in Madrid and Berlin this season, she was then able to unfold her game, placing more winning shots (23 against 13), to conclude in 1h15.
