Ons Jabeur said she was happy to get through a tense clash with Marie Bouzkova at the U.S. Open on Saturday after the fifth seed capitalised on her ailing opponent's limited movement to seal a comeback victory.
Having claimed the opening set, Czech 31st seed Bouzkova took an off-court medical timeout midway through the second due to an apparent leg issue, then soldiered on, but Jabeur began to make her opponent run around more with regular drop shots.
"I felt like doing dropshots on her forehand. I did on both, but felt like the forehand side was the side that bothered her a lot. I was tense at times. I couldn't do my shots.
