Positive after the defeat, Ons Jabeur leaves Wimbledon 2022 happy: "I'm proud of my results; I don't stop believing in myself."
It could not have been for Ons Jabeur. Despite having it down to a single set, the Tunisian will have to wait to add a Grand Slam title to her trophy collection. Although it seemed that everything was going the right way,
Elena Rybakina knew how to turn the final round and make her debut as a champion against the world number two, who was the favorite to do so. A painful experience that Jabeur takes adds to the following opportunities that come his way. Ons explains in a press conference the feelings she leaves Wimbledon and her aspirations in the coming months of competition.
"This is tennis; there is only one winner. It is a great first experience for me. I'll want to move forward to playing the next one. I am sure I will learn a lot from this match. It's been two positive weeks for me. I haven't played my tennis in the second and third sets. She started being more aggressive; she put more pressure on me. It's all of a sudden; I haven't been able to find a solution for that. Today she deserved to win. I've been beating the first set, and, for some reason, I'm down in the second. I tried to win my serve in the beginning.
I felt that she played better because she made fewer mistakes. I was hoping for something better. It's frustrating to play against someone who serves so well that he doesn't give you a chance to break his serve. I told myself: 'This is not over; she trusted you.' I even told myself she loved me during the match (laughs)."
