Key takeaway: The 2018 Champion is on a mission.
This will be the first all-Aussie meeting in a Slam quarterfinal since 1980 Wimbledon, when Evonne Goolagong Cawley defeated Wendy Turnbull in straight sets. What’s next: Tomljanovic takes on No.1 Ashleigh Barty. “But I had to put my head down and keep working and not think about those matches, think in a positive way. All of a sudden everything felt really far from me even though I did feel like I'm playing well just because mentally those matches took a little bit of a toll. "The year before I had a lot of heartbreaking moments where I thought this was my week, against Simona, Garbiñe, Sloane a long time ago. Quotable: “As for the quarterfinal, I wouldn't say I didn't believe in my career I would ever get it, but just the way my season was," Tomljanovic said. It was a heartbreaking way for her Cinderella run to end, but the win was well-earned by Tomljanovic, who at 28, is into her first major quarterfinal. Then, with Raducanu serving at 4-5, Tomljanovic played a physical game – there were two 10-shot rallies, one 21-shot lung-buster and a 20-shot back-breaker – to save three game points and ultimately break for the set. With Tomljanovic serving at 4-4, Raducanu had two break points come and go before Tomljanovic held serve. Raducanu was fired up and the No.1 Court crowd was right there with her every swing and fist pump. Tomljanovic showed her veteran mettle late in the first set. She appeared to be struggling to breathe and went off court before retiring. Key takeaway: After a close opening set, Raducanu, the 18-year-old Brit, was forced to retire from their match.
