Tomljanovic advances to Wimbledon fourth round

Ajla Tomljanovic’s love affair with Wimbledon has continued, with the Australian winning her way into the fourth round with a come-from-behind victory over world No.14 Barbora Krejcikova.

After dropping the first set she rallied to hit back in the second, serving strongly throughout, before repeating the dose in the third.

Krejcikova, the Roland Garros 2021 champion, couldn’t respond to the increased pressure from Tomljanovic, who has now followed up her career-best run to the Wimbledon quarterfinals last year with a trip to the last 16 again.

This is the third time that Tomljanovic has advanced to the fourth round at a Grand Slam tournament, having also progressed this far at Roland Garros in 2014.
