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."

She will next play China's Zheng Qinwen, who beat Italian Lucia Bronzetti 6-3 4-6 6-4, in the round of 16. "It's a very tough match from both of us," said Jabeur, last year's runner-up. The Tunisian broke back with a nice backhand slice in the ninth game but handed Bouzkova another break with a double fault on set point. Jabeur said she expects a big challenge from fourth-round foe Zheng, against whom she retired in their last meeting in Toronto in 2022.

"I'm a zombie because I have a flu," said Jabeur, adding that she had taken a break in July following her Wimbledon final defeat to stay fresh for the rest of the season. Jabeur said she had been struggling for about a week with the illness and was "taking a lot of medicine". Jabeur meets Czech Marie Bouzkova in the next round and is determined to continue her run. Reuters has reached out to U.S. Open officials about the illnesses and they said they were looking into it. ESPN said earlier this week that John McEnroe was absent from his analyst duties at the U.S. Open after testing positive for COVID.

"It wasn't an easy match, she plays unbelievable and I'm not feeling my best today," Jabeur said in her on-court interview before the crowd sang "Happy Birthday" to her. While serving with a 4-3 lead Jabeur told the chair umpire she was having trouble breathing and then went on to lose the game as Osorio broke to get the match back on serve. A determined Jabeur dug deep and won three consecutive games to wrap up the opening frame in 59 minutes before leaving the Louis Armstrong Stadium court. Both players struggled to defend their serve in the second set where Jabeur broke for a 4-3 lead and, with the finish line in sight, turned aside two break points to hold for a 5-3 advantage.

It was a good first match and I'm really happy to get through again," Wawrinka said. This year I'm playing much better, but I need to win more matches.

[1/3] Tennis - Australian Open - Melbourne Park, Melbourne, Australia - January 16, 2023 Germany's Jule Niemeier in action during her first round match against Poland's Iga Swiatek REUTERS/Carl RecineMELBOURNE, Jan 16 (Reuters) - Iga Swiatek took time to get going but found her way past Jule Niemeier, beating the German 6-4 7-5 in the opening round of the Australian Open on Monday for a slightly unconvincing start as the firm favourite for the year's first Grand Slam title. In a rematch of their U.S. Open fourth-round meeting where Swiatek battled from a set and break down to prevail, the Pole revved up her backhand to save two breakpoints before a nervy hold as Niemeier gave her little room to work the angles. But the top seed targeted world number 68 Niemeier's serve to grab the decisive break and with it the opening set, before surrendering serve early in the next only to hit back from 0-2 down to level at 5-5 and seal the victory. Swiatek, backed to stamp her authority on the women's game by winning the title vacated by the retired Ash Barty, continues her quest for a fourth major trophy when she meets Colombia's Camila Osorio in the second round.
