After losing to Elena Rybakina the year before, Jabeur had another fairytale run at SW19 and had the fans behind her but ran out of steam in the biggest match of her career yet as she failed to deliver on Grand Slam expectations. But also it prolonged her current stint of her career slightly.
Jabeur admitted that she was planning to have a baby with husband Karin Kamoun and the thought of this 'vanished' after she lost the Wimbledon final after also setting the goal that she would try to become a mother in event of becoming a Grand Slam champion.

"It was the tournament where I said…I’m going to win it and then maybe take a break and have a baby. So not only not winning Wimbledon, but the idea of having a baby vanished with the trophy.”
