The husband of Tunisia’s tennis star Ons Jabeur pens down an emotional message after the Wimbledon 2023 final defeat.
The 28-year-old once again ended on the wrong side of the result after suffering a defeat in straight sets against Czech Republic’s Marketa Vondrousova with a score of 6-4, 6-4.
Karim Kamoun, in his Instagram post, revealed that the result was enough to make him ‘cry like a baby’ but also expressed pride in the performance of his wife in the competition.
"Yes this one was painful,” he wrote. “Yes this one was really tough, Yes this one made me cry like a baby, it’s ok to show emotions, emotions are the fuel that will make you stronger, wiser and I’m pretty sure that we are on the right path, it’s coming you just need to believe and keep working hard. I’m very proud of you @onsjabeur. Dream big, Believe big," Kamoun wrote.”
The defeat was definitely going to be a tough one for Jabeur as it was her third consecutive defeat in a Grand Slam final.
She was beaten for the first time in the final of a major tournament last summer when she came short against Elena Rybakina with a score of 3–6, 6–2, 6–2 in London.
She later went on to lose the final of the US Open to current world number one Iga Swiatek with a score of 6–2, 7–6.
