Wimbledon: Ons Jabeur becomes first woman from Africa in open era to make a Slam final
A forehand error by Tatjana Maria put Jabeur in the Wimbledon final on Thursday, the path-breaking Tunisian adding another chapter to her historic charge. The 6-2, 3-6, 6-1 win ensured the 27-year-old became the first North African and Arab woman to make the title round of a major. Jabeur and Maria, close friends, fought fiercely, running each other ragged. Not giving the other an angle or a line to escape with. They pumped fists and celebrated winners, their teams cheered animatedly and their minds were ticking as fast as the feet were moving.
