Tunisian third seed Ons Jabeur, the highest surviving seed in the women’s draw, recovered from losing her first set at this year’s Wimbledon to beat Czech Marie Bouzkova 3-6, 6-1, 6-1 on Tuesday and reach her maiden Grand Slam semifinal.

Since losing in the opening round at this year’s Roland Garros in a shock defeat, Jabeur has won 10 straight matches on grass, having arrived at the All England Club with a title in Berlin in the leadup.rd

“She’s one of the examples that I wish players look up to because she really suffered to play and to win rounds in Grand Slams and look at her now. She’s in a semifinal after having two babies. It’s a really amazing story.” Coming into her second straight Wimbledon quarterfinal, Jabeur had yet to lose a set in her four rounds.

A second and a third break followed and the Tunisian soon leveled the match as her favourite drop shots once again found the mark on the lush green lawns.The Czech, who came into the Centre Court contest with six career wins over top-10 players, headed off for a lengthy bathroom break but could not change the momentum.
