Ons Jabeur Avenges Wimbledon Final Defeat, Advances to Semifinals

Ons Jabeur avenged her Wimbledon final defeat to Elena Rybakina with a comeback victory in the quarterfinals on Wednesday.

The sixth-seeded Tunisian came back from a set down to win 6-7(5), 6-4, 6-1 and reach her second Wimbledon semifinal.

Jabeur was in tears after losing to Rybakina in last year's final, but she showed no signs of nerves this time around.

She started the match strongly, but Rybakina fought back to take the first set in a tiebreak.

However, Jabeur regained her composure in the second set and broke Rybakina twice to take the lead.

She then dominated the third set, breaking Rybakina three times to seal the victory.

Jabeur will now face Belarus's Aryna Sabalenka in the semifinals on Thursday.

Jabeur's emotional comeback

Jabeur's victory was an emotional one for the Tunisian, who was visibly moved after the match.

"I am going to end up writing a book on my emotions," the quirky 28-year-old said after the match.

"I am so happy that I was able to turn things around after losing the first set. I just kept going for my shots, and I am so glad that it paid off."

Jabeur's comeback was inspired by the support of the crowd, who were firmly behind her from start to finish.

"The crowd was amazing today," Jabeur said. "They really helped me to get through the match. I am so grateful for their support."

Jabeur's next challenge

Jabeur's next challenge will be against Sabalenka, who is one of the favourites to win the tournament.

Sabalenka is a big-serving baseliner who is known for her powerful groundstrokes. However, Jabeur is confident that she can beat her.

"I know that Sabalenka is a great player, but I am also confident in my own abilities," Jabeur said. "I am going to go out there and give it my all. I believe that I can win."

Jabeur's dream of winning Wimbledon

Jabeur has said that her dream is to win Wimbledon. She is one step closer to achieving that dream, and she will be hoping to make history by becoming the first Arab woman to win a Grand Slam singles title.

"I am so close to achieving my dream," Jabeur said. "I am going to give it my all in the semifinals. I believe that I can win."
