Ajla Tomljanović’s mother gets so nervous about her daughter’s tennis matches that she often opts to go on long walks with the family dog to block out the tension.
On Monday, it became clear why Emina Tomljanović usually adopts the head-in-sand approach as her daughter put her through the wringer before beating Alizé Cornet 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 in an electrifying fourth-round rollercoaster at Wimbledon.
Speaking through tears, Tomljanović then explained why this year’s run to the last eight, where she will face Kazakh 17“The biggest thing that is different this year is my mum’s here. She didn’t watch any of my matches last year, even on TV,” said the Croatian-born Tomljanović, whose 2021 Wimbledon adventure was ended by fellow Australian and eventual champion Ash Barty.
With Cornet leading 4-2 in the opening set, the players embarked on a sequence of six games that went against serve. Seconds later, Tomljanović chased down a Cornet dropshot and almost toppled over the net as she flicked a backhand crosscourt winner to seal her place in the last eight.
