Tearful Wimbledon runner-up Ons Jabeur on Saturday described her third defeat in a Grand Slam final as the “most painful” of her career but vowed to bounce back and break her jinx at the majors.
World number six Jabeur was beaten 6-4, 6-4 by unseeded Marketa Vondrousova of the Czech Republic, one year after she lost the Wimbledon final to Elena Rybakina. More pain followed at the US Open later in the year where she was runner-up again, this time to Iga Swiatek. The 28-year-old is the eighth woman to lose her first three Grand Slam finals although she can take comfort from knowing that Chris Evert and Kim Clijsters suffered the same fate before going on to capture multiple titles.
“It will be tough to speak. I am going to look ugly in the photos so that’s not going to help,” Jabeur told the Centre Court crowd.She added defiantly: “I promise I will come back one day and win this tournament.”
