Tomljanovic moves into Wimbledon quarterfinals (Tennis Australia)

Australian Ajla Tomljanovic has scored a three-set victory against France's Alize Cornet in the fourth round at Wimbledon 2022.

Australian No.1 Ajla Tomljanovic moved into the last eight of Wimbledon for the second year in a row after a comeback win over Alizé Cornet on No.2 Court.

Match moments: Cornet saw a 4-1 advantage in the first set dwindle before she carved her way to a break for the one-set lead. This time around, Tomljanovic has another tricky opponent waiting for her in the quarterfinals: powerful Elena Rybakina of Kazakhstan, the No.17 seed. However, another stirring Grand Slam run by former World No.11 Cornet came to a close, with seven double faults hindering her cause on Monday. Very little separated the pair once again, with 44th-ranked Tomljanovic doing slightly better on break points to edge 37th-ranked Cornet in the final set. She finally reached her first major quarterfinal at the Australian Open this January, toppling Simona Halep to achieve that milestone. That's why in the end I was a little bit in disbelief that I actually came through."

She texted me before the match that she believes in me.” As Masur says, the challenges continue to come. She was also on the phone with Chris Evert, the legendary 18-time grand slam champion who has become her mentor and friend. Hopefully, that self-belief is building because the women’s draw is pretty open. She just kept saying how happy she is for me. Tomljanovic has dealt with self-doubt through her career, and has been open about this publicly. She was going through something, if you want to talk about problems in life, that’s something that’s scary. “I think she repeated it, like, because I wasn’t saying much, I was just kind of laughing at her.
