澳大利亚网球新星玛雅·乔因特在孟菲斯公开赛16强赛中以6-4、6-1直落两盘战胜美国外卡球手惠特尼·奥苏伊格韦，用时90分钟成功晋级8强[1]。世界排名第77位的乔因特取得本次赛事的又一场胜利[1]。
同日澳大利亚队伍的其他选手遭遇挫折[1]。塔利亚·吉布森以0-6、3-6不敌塔蒂亚娜·玛丽亚[1]，而斯托姆·亨特则以5-7、5-7负于五号种子卡米拉·奥索里奥，双双无缘8强[1]。
乔因特今年表现亮眼[1]。她曾在2月份创造生涯最高世界排名第28位，并在去年赢得拉巴特和伊斯特本两站赛事冠军[1]。值得一提的是，她今年温网首轮曾战胜传奇球手塞雷娜·威廉姆斯[1]。
Maya Joint progressed to the quarterfinals of the Memphis Open, defeating American wildcard Whitney Osuigwe 6-4, 6-1 in straight sets in a match lasting 90 minutes [1]. The Australian, currently ranked 77th in the world, secured the victory to advance at the tournament [1].
However, Joint's success was overshadowed by disappointing exits for two of her compatriots on the same day [1]. Talia Gibson fell to Tatjana Maria in a lopsided 0-6, 3-6 loss, while Storm Hunter suffered a narrow defeat to fifth-seeded Camila Osorio, going down 5-7, 5-7 [1]. Joint's advancement came at a time when her career has shown significant momentum—she reached a career-high ranking of 28th in February of this year and won titles in Rabat and Eastbourne last year [1]. Her recent form includes a notable upset over Serena Williams in the first round of Wimbledon this year [1].
