Wimbledon 2023: Jabeur ready to make it third time lucky after reaching final

The Hindu  

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 Czech Marketa Vondrousova. She is now back in a position she found herself in at last year’s Wimbledon and the U.S. Open, requiring one win to become the first African woman as well as first Arab to win a major. 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.
