American dream run: no sign of Aussie tennis ace waking
Talia Gibson has won five matches against top-20 players in three weeks, advancing to the Miami Open last 16 without dropping a set or losing her serve.
- On Sunday, Talia Gibson defeated Iva Jovic 6-2, 6-2 to reach the Miami Open last 16, advancing her run after Indian Wells.
- After coming through qualifying in California, Gibson had already won six matches and rose from world No.112 to No.68 after Indian Wells, then reached the last 16 in Miami.
- Her stats underline the streak: she had not dropped a set in Miami and her serve not been broken in her last three matches, dispatching Jovic in 72 minutes without facing a break point.
- But the tests only get harder for Gibson as she faces Australian Open champion and world No.2 Elena Rybakina, who beat Marta Kostyuk 6-3, 6-4.
- Having jumped to No.68, she is set to at least become world No.56 next week, making her the first qualifier into the Indian Wells quarter-finals since Jenny Byrne in 1989.
