“I’m going to try to talk because it’s very difficult. “It was the most painful defeat of my career,” he announced at Wimbledon headquarters. Soon she cried uncontrollably, out of fear. It couldn’t be any other way, while playing, getting closer to defeat, he couldn’t hold back his tears.
Helplessness, anguish, anger. A cocktail of negative sensations that definitely brought down the usual queen of good humor in the women’s circuit. His extraordinary talent moved fans and other tennis players alike.
Ounce Jabeur was left without Wimbledon, as was the case in 2022. First was the emergence of the Kazakh Elena Rybakina, then a surprising champion. Then another talent appeared who seemed to be dormant due to injuries, the Czech Marketa Vondrousovabeating a Tunisian 6-4, 6-4 who showed he was overwhelmed by the pressure.
He also lost in the final of US Open 2022. Zero out of three in the Grand Slam. “I’m afraid to come back and play in the final, but I know I have to do it. I want to do bigger things than a Grand Slam, but it’s a shame, something missing, if I don’t achieve it. I have to win one, I don’t have another option, maybe it will be the mission of my life”, means the player in the documentary ‘Ons Jabeur. This is me’, which was released this January.
He is 29 years old, he is number 6 in the world. He made history because of his ranking (he was No. 2), his titles (five out of thirteen finals), charisma and pioneer status. She promoted Arab women’s sport, she was an icon.
But he lacks the finishing touch. His tennis aspirations, his obsession with the Grand Slam, are well known. But the drama continued at Wimbledon. Months later, in the documentary, Jabeur confessed that more than a trophy was at stake.
“It was the hardest defeat of my career because it broke me emotionally. Not just winning Wimbledon, but the idea of having a baby disappeared with the Wimbledon trophy,” she revealed.
He married his countryman Karim Kammounformer elite fencing fencer and current tennis player’s physical trainer.
The Australian Open is another opportunity for Ounce Jabeurwith the best result in Melbourne being the quarterfinals in 2020. Since then, third round in 2021 and second in 2023. He did not participate in 2022.
