Birrell Builds on Late-Season Momentum
Kimberly Birrell advanced to the quarterfinals with a 6-4, 6-2 win over Caroline Dolehide. Earlier in the week, she rallied from a set down to beat Petra Marcinko in the opener.
After a difficult mid-2025 stretch, Birrell regained momentum late last season with a final in Chennai and a semifinal at W75 Sydney, carrying that form into 2026.
This year she has reached the Adelaide semifinals and the second round in Dubai and Brisbane, with three of her five losses coming against higher-ranked players.
Birrell holds a 3-5 record in tour-level quarterfinals, winning her last two at this stage against Donna Vekic in Chennai and Jaqueline Cristian in Adelaide.

Resilient Tomljanovic Downs Jovic
Ajla Tomljanovic produced an impressive comeback to defeat Iva Jovic 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 and reach the Austin quarterfinals. She is now one win away from matching last year’s semifinal run here.
The result is a major relief after failing to move past the second round in her previous three tournaments this season. It also marks her second top-20 win in her last three matches against that group.
Tomljanovic enjoyed a similar strong start in Austin last year but struggled to maintain momentum afterward, adding only two more quarterfinals during the season.
She holds a 10-19 career record in quarterfinals but has won all three she has played since the start of 2024, including victories over Leylah Fernandez and Jessica Bouzas Maneiro.

Verdict
