Tennis. WTA. San Jose. Quarterfinal. Gill-Kudermetova. Direct
Immediately after Daria Kasatkina and Arina Sobolenko competed for a ticket to the semi-finals, another Russian woman, Veronika Kudermetova, who is now our team’s second racket, will enter the center tennis court at the University of San Jose State. The rival of the native of Kazan will be a tennis player from the top 5 in the world ranking, a representative of Tunisia – Ons Zhaber.
At the moment, in the personal encounters of tennis players, the advantage is on the side of Kudermetova. The Russian beat Zhaber twice, and both meetings of the opponents took place in the 2019 season. At the tournament in Hertogenbosch (1st round), Veronika was stronger in two sets – 6:3, 6:4. And at the Moscow Kremlin Cup, our tennis player won an even more confident victory – 6:3, 6:3. As you can see, the fights against Zhaber were very successful for Kudermetova. However, it should be noted that in 2019 the Tunisian tennis player was not as stable as she is now and took a place in the second fifty dollars in the WTA ranking.
In the current tournament in San Jose, Ons only played one game, as they were seeded under the 3rd number and the first round of the competition was automatic. In the 1/8 finals, Jaber defeated American Madison Keys in straight sets – 7:5, 6:1.
As for Veronika Kudermetova, she has already passed two rivals. In the first round, the Russian had a difficult match against Italian Camila Giorgi – 7:6, 4:6, 7:5. And in the 1/8 match, our tennis player confidently beat the little-known American Claire Liu – 6: 2, 7: 5.
Recall that Ons Jaber is now 24 years old, and Veronika Kudermetova is 22. In June this year, the representative of Tunisia was the second racket in the world for the first time in her career. She currently has a 5th WTA rating. Kudermetova was the 18th racket in the world less than a month ago (a record in her personal career). Now the Russian woman has the 19th number in the WTA ranking.
