Ons Jabeur has revealed she was left "happy crying" after receiving plenty of messages, including from former men's world No 1 Andy Roddick, following her heartbreaking defeat in the Wimbledon final last month.
Jabeur, 28, lost her third Grand Slam final - and second successive at Wimbledon - in a surprise straight-sets loss to unseeded Czech Marketa Vondrousova as the Tunisian's agonising wait for a major title continues.
Jabeur described it as the "most painful loss" of her career. One of the most popular players on tour among peers and fans alike, Jabeur received an outpouring of support, including from Morocco men's football manager Walid Regragui, but it was a message from Roddick, who knows all to well the pain of losing the Wimbledon final.
Roddick reached the Wimbledon final three times in his career, only to come out second best to Roger Federer on each occasion.
