Ons Jabeur lost the Wimbledon final last year to Elena Rybakina and she wants some payback this year in the quarterfinal. During a recent press conference, the Tunisian woman revealed that she lost last year’s final for two reasons. First, she was feeling without energy after reaching the last match of The Championship. Second, she admitted that she didn’t follow the plan given by her coach. This time, she will be more focused and pay more attention to the indications given by her coach.
Ons commented: “Maybe two things. The fact that I was really exhausted like emotionally. I wanted to keep pushing, but I felt little bit empty. Second thing, maybe what my coach kept telling me, to stick more to the plan, to do certain things, even though I was thinking something else in that match. So, yeah, my priority tomorrow is really to stick 100% to the plan that my coach will give me, and try to even do things that I might not like on the court, play more freely, just think about each point and not the results.”
