Tomljanovi&#263; built an initial 2-0 lead but the US No. 1 replied back and took the opening set 6-4. The first set had lengthy rallies which showed a great character from the Aussie star. Gauff was hitting more body serves and groundstroke errors from Tomljanovic helped the 2023 champion take the first set.<\/p><p>The second set was going towards in favor of Gauff as she won the first two games and the pressure was mounting on the Australian ace, who were forcing errors. The Aussie star recorded her sixth double fault of the match in the game and the set was tied on 4-4. Gauff saved two set points to break Ajla Tomljanovi&#263;&rsquo;s serve. The Australian ace managed to hold the nerves and forced the tiebreak where she clinched the second set.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Tomljanovic takes the second in a tiebreak.<br><br>She and Coco Gauff are headed to a decider! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/7tXaiZMEJs\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/7tXaiZMEJs<\/a><\/p>&mdash; US Open Tennis (@usopen) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/usopen\/status\/1960510108212883694?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>August 27, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Coco Gauff was not capitalizing after breaking and it was the major issue for her.
