Mertens high on Jabeur's title chances: "Definitely, I think she has a very good chance," Mertens said. On Jabeur's first match point, Mertens hit her only double-fault of the day to end the match after 1 hour and 46 minutes. "I'm just very positive about what I want to do. The Tunisian earned the early break in the opening set but Mertens' consistency proved a tough puzzle for Jabeur to solve all day. "Hopefully I can continue the streak," Jabeur said. Hopefully it can continue to the final." That steady aggression from the baseline earned Mertens a 6-3 lead in the tiebreak before Jabeur mounted a furious comeback. Jabeur will face the Czech Republic's Marie Bouzkova for a spot in her first major semifinal.
