After working ‘like crazy’ to improve, Tunisia's Ons Jabeur hopes to become the first African woman as well as first Arab to win a Grand Slam. Wimbledon

LONDON, England – Tunisia’s Ons Jabeur believes the lessons she learned in two Grand Slam final defeats will stand her in good stead for Saturday’s Wimbledon showdown with unseeded CzechJabeur showed incredible endurance on Thursday, July 13, to absorb the brutal power of second seed Aryna Sabalenka to claim a 6-7, 6-4, 6-3 victory after trailing by a set and 4-2.

“Last year was my first final of a Grand Slam. Definitely getting closer to winning the Grand Slam that I always wished,” north African trailblazer Jabeur, who had a photo of Wimbledon’s Venus Rosewater Dish on her phone last year but never got her hands on the real thing, told reporters. “I didn’t win against her this year. She has good hands. She plays very good,” Jabeur said. “Honestly, I will try to focus on myself a lot. I’m not sure how she’s going to play her second Grand Slam final. We’re both hungry to win.”

She beat twice Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova in round four, 2022 winner Elena Rybakina in the last eight, and Australian Open champion Sabalenka in the semis.
