Ons Jabeur candidly reveals how she felt before the Wimbledon final (Provided by Tennis World FR)
Ons Jabeur admitted he “felt a lot of pressure and stress” just before entering center court for the Wimbledon final. Jabeur, 28, lost two Grand Slam finals last year and she didn’t want to lose her third final.
Before the match, sixth-seeded Jabeur was the favorite to beat Marketa Vondrousova. But the pressure of the Wimbledon final got the better of Jabeur, who played tensely and looked nervous on court.
Eventually, 24-year-old Vondrousova defeated Jabeur 6-4 6-4 to claim her first Grand Slam title.
Jabeur: I felt a lot of pressure and stress
“Honestly, I felt a lot of pressure and stress.
But in each final, in each match, I told myself that everything was fine, that it was normal. Frankly, I did nothing wrong. I did everything I could. But, yeah, I think things take time with me.
Again, I said it shouldn’t be my day this time. I hope I will be like the others who have failed many times and it will come after,” said Jabeur, who tried to find a way to relax and get rid of his nerves, but it didn’t work. .”“A lot of breathing.
Lots of positive words. I tried to tell myself that nothing was over. It might get better. I used to lose the first set in these last two matches, so I was hoping maybe it would be better in the next games.
But that was obviously not the case. We will continue to do what I do. We will continue to learn, for sure, because I think it is the key for me to succeed“Jabeur said. Last year, Jabeur looked devastated after losing the Wimbledon and US Open finals.
After losing the Wimbledon final this year, Jabeur broke down in tears and admitted it was the most painful defeat of his career. ALSO READ: Ons Jabeur in tears at the Wimbledon awards ceremony.
