Ons Jabeur is not messing around. On Day 10 at Wimbledon, the 6th-seeded Tunisian eliminated defending champion Elena Rybakina 6(5)-7, 6-4, 6-1 in a replay of last year's final — but this time, Jabeur, not Rybakina, came out on top.
Jabeur had put on a clinic when she faced Petra Kvitova on Monday, eliminating the two-time Wimbledon champion 6-0, 6-3 in a show of dominance. But against Rybakina, Jabeur appeared to be overwhelmed at the start, allowing her opponent to get a 3-1 lead before asserting her strength. But from there it was an all-out slugfest. Jabeur quickly came back to tie the set, but Rybakina got the edge in the tiebreak and took a 1-0 lead.
With Rybakina up, Jabeur was fighting for her life. And whatever had been holding her back before disappeared in the second set. She didn't hold anything back, overwhelming Rybakina and swinging freely against her superb serve. Rybakina fought back, attempting to stay with Jabeur , but she ran out of gas after tying the score 4-4 and Jabeur took the second set to force a decider.
