But Jabeur is now back to playing her best tennis as she ousted Caroline Garcia 6-1 6-3 to reach the US Open final. “It feels amazing,” Jabeur said after advancing to her first US Open final. “After Wimbledon there was a lot of pressure on me.
I’m really relieved to be able to back up my results. The hardcourt season started a bit badly, but now I’m very happy to have made the final here.”
Jabeur on how important her serve was
Jabeur served superbly throughout the match as she fired eight aces and won 83% of her first serve points.
Jabeur did not face a single break point against Garcia. “It was so important, especially when he gets on the court and puts a lot of pressure on my second serve, so I had to hit more serves,” Jabeur said.
“In the second set he played much better. I was very happy that he didn’t break at the end because it would have been difficult at 5-4.” Jabeur started very strongly, breaking Garcia three times to easily win the first set. After winning the first set, Jabeur won the first break of the second set in the fourth game for a 3-1 lead. Jabeur then held her serve for the rest of the match to complete a straight sets win. In the US Open final, Jabeur plays top seed Iga Swiatek. Going into the US Open final, the matchup between Jabeur and Swiatek is 2-2.
