Ons Jabeur, the first Arab woman to play in a Wimbledon quarter final, loses 6-4 6-3 to Aryna Sabalenka.
Tunisian Ons Jabeur has lost to Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka in the Wimbledon quarter-finals under the Centre Court roof. In a classic clash of styles, the 23-year-old Sabalenka had too many destructive weapons for Jabeur on Tuesday, claiming a 6-4 6-3 victory to set up a clash with fellow big-hitter Czech Karolina Pliskova in the semi-finals. Playing in her first Grand Slam quarter-final, Sabalenka kept the intensity and decibel levels turned up to 10 throughout, allowing 21st seed Jabeur few chances to settle.More Related News
