Ons Jabeur broke yet more ground for Arab and North African tennis when she beat Marie Bouzkova of the Czech Republic 3-6, 6-1, 6-1 to reach the semi-finals at Wimbledon on Tuesday.
The No 3 seed, who lost at the same stage 12 months ago, recovered brilliantly from the loss of the first set to reach her first grand slam semi-final. At the age of 27, she is peaking at the right time. “I’m really, really happy, especially that it happened on this court because I have so much love for this court,” Jabeur said. “Hopefully the journey for me will continue”.
