Ons Jabeur
Ons Jabeur became the first Arab woman to reach the Wimbledon quarterfinals by beating former French Open champion Iga Swiatek 5-7, 6-1, 6-1.
The Tunisian converted all seven break points she created and served out the match at love with an ace.
It was the first match completed on Wimbledon’s Manic Monday, when all the men’s and women’s fourth-round matches are played.
Minutes later, No. 2-seeded Aryna Sabalenka reached her first Grand Slam quarterfinal by beating Elena Rybakina 6-3, 4-6, 6-3.
The 21st-seeded Jabeur also reached the quarterfinals at last year’s Australian Open, becoming the first Arab woman to reach that stage at any Grand Slam tournament.
Swiatek won last year’s French Open but lost in the first round of her only previous Wimbledon appearance in 2019.
