Tunisian third seed Ons Jabeur proved far too strong for Mirjam Bjorklund of Sweden, sweeping past the qualifier 6-1 6-3 to book her spot in the second round of Wimbledon. After reaching a career-high ranking of two in the world, 2021 quarter-finalist Jabeur served strongly and dominated from the baseline against Bjorklund, who made her debut at the grasscourt major this year.
The 27-year-old surpassed South African Amanda Coetzer -- who reached the world number three ranking in 1997 -- to become the highest-ranked African player in history. But Jabeur is aiming higher. "I do feel more confident. I do feel like I deserve to be in this level. Hopefully, next step will be number one," Jabeur told reporters after storming into the Wimbledon second round with a straight-sets win over Swedish qualifier Mirjam Bjorklund.
