Ons Jabeur gained revenge for her defeat in last year’s Wimbledon final on Wednesday, coming from behind to beat Elena Rybakina and reach the Last Four. In a repeat of the 2022 title match, the Tunisian sixth seed beat her third-ranked opponent 6-7 (5/7), 6-4, 6-1 on Centre Court. The 28-year-old will face Belarusian second seed Aryna Sabalenka for a place in Saturday’s final at the All England Club. “I’m very happy with the performance—a lot of emotion out there, especially playing someone that serves really well,” Jabeur said.
Emotions run high
“It’s frustrating to return, but I’m glad I did everything, shouted, got angry, then got calm and focused and hopefully I can manage my emotions like this for the next two matches,” she added.
