For the second consecutive season, Ons Jabeur progressed to the Wimbledon quarterfinals. However, she is not satisfied with that and wants to win the title in London this year.
Grass suits Jabeur's game perfectly. She has an excellent slice and drop, is comfortable coming to the net, possesses a great serve, and hits her groundstrokes flat and hard—all qualities that are ideal on grass, in particular.
The Tunisian had a solid run to the Wimbledon quarterfinal last year, including a victory against Iga Swiatek. Aryna Sabalneka ended her run, but Jabeur proved what she was capable of on grass.
Jabeur's performances so far have been even more impressive. She has yet to drop a set at the tournament; the 27-year-old defeated Elise Mertens in the last round, who is a tricky opponent on grass.
She is the favorite to win her next round against Marie Bouzkova. Jabeur is very ambitious in London and wants to win the title at the Grand Slam that suits her game so well.
I'm just very positive about what I want to do. I have my goals very high for this tournament, so I'm going to keep doing that. No matter who's coming, I'm going to build the fight, I'm going to fight till the end because I really want the title.
The watchable star also discussed how much she enjoys playing on grass. She described it interestingly by mentioning the connection between herself and nature.
I love playing on the grass. I love the connection between nature and me. Hopefully, it can continue to the final.
Jabeur is still a long way from the title. Many worthy contenders remain in the draw who will feel they have a great chance of winning. However, Jabeur will be tough to stop if she keeps playing at her current level.
