href=\"https:\/\/www.olympics.com\/en\/athletes\/clara-tauson\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Clara Tauson<\/a>, 7-6(5), 5-7, 6-3, to win at the John Cain Arena.<\/p>\n<p>It was arguably the Canadian\u2019s toughest test in Melbourne so far, a momentum-swinging match that required both players to be at their very best.<\/p>\n<p>Tauson held serve to take the first game in the opening set, but Mboko pushed ahead to take control at 4-2.<\/p>\n<p>A remarkable turnaround from the Danish star saw her edge in front, but a similar comeback from the 17th seed resulted in an intense tiebreaker.<\/p>\n<p>Gruelling baseline rallies dictated the set decider, and it was Mboko who came out on top with her patience and shot placement prevailing.<\/p>\n<p>But Tauson began set two with intent, breaking and holding serve to establish an early lead, only for the tide to change in favour of the teenager competitor once more.\u00a0Mboko took\u00a0full advantage of unforced errors with the pressure mounting on the former.<\/p>\n<p>With her place in the tournament on the line, the Danish player stormed her way back into the contest by getting the better of lengthy rallies, ultimately seeing out the final game to turn this match into a three-set thriller.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Victoria Mboko is into the fourth round of the women\u2019s singles at the
