Tomljanovic

While Ajla Tomljanovic exits Wimbledon 2022 in the quarterfinals, she sees another career-best run at SW19 as a stepping stone to further success.

There were brief signs of a recovery when Tomljanovic broke serve as Rybakina first served for the match at 5-2 in the third set, but it proved only temporary. “I’m really proud of the fact that I managed to play back-to-back quarters. “I definitely think it’s been a step forward, and I can just build off of that.” But with a run of seven games straight, Rybakina convincingly claimed the ascendancy. (It was) actually one of the cleanest sets I’ve played all tournament,” Tomljanovic said. Combining power with precision, especially with her backhand, Tomljanovic was the early aggressor on Wimbledon’s No.1 Court.

The best story in Aussie tennis has been quiet. After a 22-year first, Ajla is ready for primetime.

Now I think I’m in a different spot, for sure. I played someone that was playing unbelievable tennis,” Tomljanovic said of her 6-1, 6-3 loss to Barty. Alja will be hoping to continue her rich vein of form with a victory over Rybakina in tonight’s quarter-final and then look to build towards achieving her career goal of becoming the number one ranked player in the world. Building on the momentum from her first ever quarter-final appearance at Wimbledon last year, Tomljanović reached a career best 38th in the WTA women’s singles rankings at the end of February this year, prior to some tough results which followed. After breaking through to the top 50 for the first time in 2014 and looking to continue her ascension through the rankings, Tomljanović suffered a serious shoulder injury in early 2016 that ended her season and led to a long road to recovery. The 29-year-old Aussie is hoping to use the lessons she learned from the experience of her crushing quarter-final defeat at the hands of compatriot, and former world number one, Barty to propel her into the semi-finals of a Grand Slam championship for the first time in her career.
