Ons Jabeur admitted she is not yet well-prepared for a Grand Slam title after losing in three sets to Elena Rybakina in the Wimbledon 2022 women’s final.
The Tunisian won the first set of the title match, but then suffered a reversal and lost after 6:3, 2:6, 2:6.
“I couldn’t do any more, I really tried everything I could but obviously it wasn’t enough. I’ve done everything since the beginning of the year to focus on this tournament, I even have the picture of the trophy on my phone. It wasn’t meant to be. I can’t force things. I’m probably not ready for that, to be a Grand Slam champion”, said Ons Jabeur. “I want to continue to be a Top 5 player, to win more titles, including a Grand Slam trophy”, added the Tunisian.
Ons Jabeur is the world’s No 2 in the WTA ranking. She is the highest-ranked African and Arab tennis player in ATP and WTA rankings history.
