...JABEURWOCKY ON NIGHT 6:
Dialed in ??@Ons_Jabeur survives a three set battle against Bouzkova!#USOpen pic.twitter.com/CMTNPpfYww
— wta (@WTA) September 3, 2023
Another night, another operatic Ons Jabeur struggle en route to a triumphant conclusion featuring the Tunisian staggering off the stage to thunderous hails of admiration. Until next time. This time it was #31 Marie Bouzkova who engaged in the ongoing battle with the #5 seed. The dance lasted three sets and just under three hours. Jabeur remains less than 100%, still carrying a cough and congestion after seemingly often being on her last legs at moments during her first two matches; while the Czech was slowed by a leg injury that nonetheless didn't prevent her from finding her way to Jabeur's shots and pushing the Tunisian to the edge once again. Someone had to win, but neither was going to lose sleep wondering if they'd given it their best effort. Up 5-2 in the 1st, Bouzkova held a SP at 5-3, then couldn't serve out the set a game later. With Jabeur serving to force a TB, she flew the second of back-to-back overheads to fall down SP. She saved it, but then DF'd two points later and Bouzkova took the lead in the match. Jabeur held the early lead in the 2nd, going up 4-2, and serving for the set at 5-4. She couldn't put the set away, nor convert two BP at 5-5 to get another chance. In the ensuing TB, Bouzkova led 4-2, and got within two points of victory at 5-5. Jabeur won 7-5 to knot the match. Jabeur took a 2-0 lead in the 3rd, gave the break back in game 3, then rallied from 40/love down to win five consecutive points and re-take a break lead at 4-2. She served for the Round of 16 at 5-3, taking a 40/15 lead. Bouzkova got the game back to deuce, but Jabeur finally closed it out on MP #3, winning 5-7/7-6(5)/6-3 to reach her third straight slam 4th Round. Jabeur's 56 winners were often cancelled out by 63 UE, but once again she dragged her ailing self over the finish line and lives to fight another day (and seek new ways to perhaps survive even longer).
Ons Jabeur & Marie Bouzkova share a hug at the net after their match at the US Open.

Each of them knows how hard it was for the other to be out here tonight.
At the end of the day, these two respect each other to the moon & back.

Watching Ons Jabeur play tennis is so viscerally stressful in the most relatable way, she wants to win so fucking openly and badly that you have no choice but to feel it too

Jabeur is walking the tightrope, every day and every night.
Svitolina could not take advantage of her opportunities. Credit to Pegula for grinding through that one.
Stat of the Day- 12- The number of the Sweet Sixteen with a title on hard.
Titles on Hard:
24- Wozniacki
11- Sabalenka
8 - Swiatek
6 - Bencic
5 - Kasatkina
4 - Gauff
3 - Ostapenko
3 - Keys
3 - Pegula
1 - Cirstea
1 - Muchova
1 - Vondrousova
Last Title on Hard:
Cirstea- 2008 Tashkent
Vondrousova- 2017 Biel
Wozniacki- 2018 China
Muchova- 2019 Korea
Keys- 2022 Adelaide
Ostapenko- 2022 Dubai
Kasatkina- 2022 Granby
Sabalenka- 2023 Australian Open
Bencic- 2023 Abu Dhabi
Swiatek- 2023 Poland
Pegula- 2023 Canada
Gauff- 2023 Cincinnati
Jabeur- 2022 US Open-RU/2013 ITF Saguenay-W
Zheng- 2022 Pan Pacific Open-RU/2022 ITF Orlando-W
Wang- 2023 Hua Hin-SF/2022 ITF Tokyo Open-W
Stearns- 2023 Austin-QF/2023 ITF Georgia's Rome Open-W
6 of 2022's year end Top 10 are represented.
This group has combined for 22 YE Top 10's.
Wozniacki leads with 8.
Wozniacki's last YE Top 10 was at 28.
Pegula's first YE Top 10 was at 28.
Wozniacki would have a 5 year gap between slam QF:2018 AO.
Cirstea would have a 14 year gap between slam QF:2009 RG.
Stearns has 16 WTA MD wins in her career.
Sabalenka has 20 wins in slams this year.
Wang is the only player not to have reached a final on any surface.
Zheng or Wang would be the first QF here since Wang Qiang in 2019.
Cirstea, Wang and Stearns are the only players never to have been Top 20.
Cirstea could be if she wins her next two matches.
Muchova would be Wang's first Top 10 win. 2-11 vs Top 20(Alexandra/Raducanu).
Vondrousova would be Stearns first Top 10 win. 1-4 vs Top 20(Ostapenko).
7 of 16 have reached a final in the Middle East.
Jabeur is not one of them.
Very interesting stats--thanks, colt.
I don't know how much farther Ons can go. Even if she recovers from her illness, she'll still be physically weakened by it. And her next opponent is no walk in Central Park.
They should play "Tightrope" (Janelle Monae) when Jabeur walks on tomorrow. :)
Between that and Muchova's "Highway to Hell" it'd be a relative concert in the QF. ;)
I so want Muchova to walk out to "Highway to Hell!"
