I know that's not cool, but I wanted to win," said Jabeur, who overcame her own early struggles due to flu and prevailed 5-7 7-6(5) 6-3 after nearly three hours.
"I was trying to observe her a lot, try to see where she was hurt," Jabeur said.
Jabeur, seeking her first Grand Slam title, said she will need to work on her serve ahead of a fourth-round meeting with China's Zheng Qinwen.
"I think that's going to be very important playing a talented young player," Jabeur said.
That's really important for me."
