If there’s one thing one can take from Ons Jabeur’s giant-slaying run to a second consecutive Wimbledon final, it’s how important it is to work on oneself.
As Jabeur admitted in her on-court interview on Thursday after rallying back from a set and a break down to defeat world No 2 Aryna Sabalenka, the “old Jabeur” would have probably lost that semi-final.
She would have gotten frustrated by Sabalenka’s clutch serving, rued her missed break point opportunities, complained continuously to her team in her box, and let the match slip away.
Luckily that’s the old Jabeur. The new Jabeur got angry but regrouped. The new Jabeur seethed when she got aced, but then accepted she was facing a player with exceptional power and serving abilities.
