Petra Kvitova and Ajla Tomljanovic will face one another in the quarterfinal round of the 2022 Cincinnati Open on Friday, August 19.
Ons Jabeur’s recent performances haven’t been great, and Petra Kvitova fully capitalised on this in their third-round match in Cincinnati. Kvitova, a former Wimbledon champion, recovered from dropping the second set to win the match 6-1, 4-6, 6-0 in an hour and 48 minutes to advance to the round of eight. Kvitova, who had previously defeated Sorana Cirstea and Jil Teichmann in the opening two rounds. However, that turned out to be an anomaly as Kvitova dominated her opponent in the decider, breaking her three times in a row to win it to love. Kvitova will now attempt to repeat her semifinal-round performance from last year.
Ajla Tomljanovic defeated Veronika Kudermetova in the third round in her fourth consecutive three-setter to reach her first career WTA 1000 quarterfinal. Tomljanovic, who had earlier eliminated Paula Badosa, dropped her serve twice in the first set in what appeared to be a quick job for Kudermetova. In the second, she held her serve, and in the ninth, she broke her opponent to give herself a chance to serve for the set. Tomljanovic survived a break-point in the first game of the final set, but after that it was mostly one-way traffic in her favor. She broke Kudermetova in the eighth game and then served it out in the next to advance to the final eight.
Petra Kvitova and Ajla Tomljanovic are scheduled to face one another in the quarterfinal round of the 2022 Cincinnati Open on Friday, August 19. The tournament is scheduled to run from August 14 till August 21.
