Twelve months ago, Ons Jabeur left Wimbledon vowing to return and hopefully go one better next time, having lost in the final. , she came through the first real test of her title credentials this year as she squeezed past the former US Open champion Bianca Andreescu 3-6, 6-3, 6-4.
Outplayed in the first set by the former US Open champion, Jabeur levelled but Andreescu led 3-1 in the decider only to double-fault to gift the break back. A heavy downpour – and a resultant one-hour break – was key. Under the roof, Jabeur broke the Canadian’s serve in the ninth game to advance to round four.
