"We're going to make it one day, I promise you" @Ons_Jabeur speaks after her #Wimbledon final defeat to Marketa Vondrousova

Tunisia’s Ons Jabeur has admitted that the 2023 Wimbledon final
defeat is the ‘most painful’ loss in her career.
The 28-year-old suffered a defeat against Czech Republic’s Marketa
Vondrousova in the grand finale of the third Grand Slam of the year in straight
sets with a score of 6-4, 6-4 on Saturday in London.
Talking after the match, Jabeur, who was in tears, reiterated
her desire to not ‘give up’ despite the setback.
"I'm going to look ugly in the photos," she said. "It
will be tough to speak because this is very tough. I think this is the most
painful loss of my career. It's going to be a tough day today but I am not
going to give up. We're going to make it one day, I promise you."
The defeat will indeed going to be a tough one for Jabeur
who has now lost back-to-back Wimbledon finals.
Last year, she was on the wrong side of the result in the
all-important clash against Kazakhstan’s Elena Rybakina with a score of 3-6,
6-2, 6-2.
Not only that but this is Jabeur’s third Grand Slam final
defeat. She was also beaten in the grand finale of the US Open 2022 by current world
number one Iga Swiatek with a score of 6-2, 7-6.

- Emma's word has long had no value. Consistently seeking and wasting Wildcards by last-minute withdrawals, backing out of numerous agreements behind the scenes, etc., etc., etc. Relying on nonstop social media posts, sexy photo shoots, various commercial ventures and so in order to appease her sponsorship and keep that massive income. In short, she seems to be playing the media, sponsors, and WTA. Part-time tennis by doing so when one feels like it is not going end well (although her bank accounts and investments will still be there for her). Not fair to players begging to participate. After blowing-off Andy Murray -- anyone requesting her services or inclusion has only themselves to blame when it turns sour.
mandoist08-07-2024 - "...I felt I didn’t have solutions" She didn't. But there's no shame in that at such a young age. The ability to 'read the room' [court & opponent] does not happen overnight. She'll figure it out in due time. Solving situations on-the-fly is what separates the Best from the Rest. Gauff, overall, has excelled in her sport. Her game will mature and evolve as she gets older. One issue she may have is 'star envy'. It appears she's not following her own path 100%. There seems to be some sort of 'Williams fascination' going on. Now she is styling her look after the Williams'. Gauff will do better to stop any Serena worship and get on with her own situation. She's young; this tendency to imitate will soon pass. As for Gilbert -- Gauff knew who he was and what he is when she called upon him to join her team. Personally, I was surprised to see him sitting there pulling his hat over his eyes and nothing to say. For a guy who can't keep his yap shut in public, he sure was a quiet mouse yesterday!mandoist08-07-2024
