Grippée depuis son arrivée à New-York, Ons Jabeur se bagarrait, mais face à Qinwen Zheng, ça n'a pas été suffisant. La Tunisienne n'a pas réussi à mettre suffisamment la pression sur sa mise en jeu et surtout a commis trop de fautes directes pour espérer mieux. Défaite, 6-2, 6-4. La Chinoise est restée solide, même si elle a tout de même perdu 4 fois sa mise en jeu sur 5 balles de break concédées. Pour sa deuxième participation à l'US Open, la joueuse de 20 ans a atteint son premier quart de finale en Grand-Chelem. En conférence de pressse, Ons n'est pas appari abattu et semble repartir de New-York avec des enseignements.

00:00 I think no matter what the tournament is, you always take a great lesson.
00:04 For me, I think I discovered something in me that could help me for the rest of the season
00:10 and help me for the rest of my career.
00:13 It's managing these conditions that always help.
00:17 I know that I can dig deep sometimes.
00:22 Maybe I'm tough with myself because today I couldn't get that warrior mood on,
00:28 but it's just disappointing.
00:31 I know I was trying my best.
00:34 It is tough to accept at a certain time that it is what it is.
00:38 But definitely that's the lesson I will take to San Diego,
00:44 because that's where I'm going.
00:45 We'll work more on some technical things and hopefully I can improve more
00:54 and be ready for the next few tournaments.
00:56 I try to laugh and have fun on the court,
01:01 but sometimes it's tough because you think that people are mistaking it for
01:07 not being concentrated or not caring about the game.
01:11 That's very tough to do the balance for me.
01:14 I know I was pretty tense today.
01:17 I just tried to talk positive to myself.
01:21 If it's not your day, it is not your day.
01:24 I really try to think about positive things and get into the game.
01:30 I felt like even in the rallies I wasn't playing my game.
01:35 But definitely the crowd cheering always helps.
01:39 Maybe I should have done something else.
01:44 -Is that something you would want to think about doing in any matches soon?
01:56 I did that before when I was playing my game.
01:58 When you're off, you're just off in every sense of this or forehand or backhand.
02:07 -On the back of Iga having to deal with Yelena's power last night
02:12 and how the depth of the WTA is really deep.
02:20 Your thoughts on how the last two days have gone in regards to
02:25 Arena being the new number one and the dynamics of the tournament.
02:30 -I'm so happy for Arena. She deserves that.
02:35 She's a very solid player. I've practiced with her.
02:38 Big serve, big hitter. I think she deserves to be number one spot.
02:43 She deserved that for a long time ago.
02:47 Definitely the match yesterday was very interesting.
02:52 Not so many people were surprised because Yelena could play amazing games.
02:57 That's the beauty of WTA, to find different hitters.
03:03 I honestly love how Arena plays with her passion on the court.
03:10 You can feel it.
03:12 Hopefully she will stay number one until I get there and take her place.
