World No.38 Sasnovich has now pushed Jabeur to three sets in each of their three meetings, but Jabeur has come out on top in all of those encounters. Jabeur, currently at a career-high ranking of World No.4, has won 28 matches so far this season, more than any player other than World No.1 Iga Swiatek.
On Friday, Jabeur out-winnered Sasnovich by 19 to 15, and she had six fewer unforced errors than Sasnovich. Sasnovich pulled off a comeback from 5-2 down in the first set, eventually reeling off the final four points of the tiebreak to squeak out the one-set lead. Sasnovich broke Jabeur in the first game of the second set as well.
But Jabeur turned the match around from there, finding deep, powerful returns to pick up six of the next seven games and claim the second set. Jabeur cracked the third set open with a break for 4-2 and held on from there, hitting a tweener for good measure in the last game.
