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 READ:Vondrousova ends Svitolina’s run to reach Wimbledon final “I would say I always believed. “Maybe this year was all about trying two times and getting it right the third time.” The 28-year-old sixth seed has lost twice this year to left-handed Vondrousova, who was French Open runner-up in 2019, and said she wanted revenge on Saturday after working “like crazy” to improve.
