One month ago, Ons Jabeur, the 28-year-old Tunisian who is ranked No. 5 in the world, stood on the Wimbledon women’s singles final court in tears. She lost for the second straight year in the final, but this one felt even worse than the first.

"I think this is the most painful loss of my career," Jabeur said during her post-match interview. 

Jabeur felt that same feeling of defeat in Flushing, Queens last year as well, falling in the 2022 U.S. Open final to Iga Swiatek. Three Grand Slam finals under her belt, yet Jabeur has not been able to hoist the trophy at the end of it.

Heading into the 2023 U.S. Open this week, losing is not a feeling Jabeur wants to experience again, especially if it is a chance to win her first career Grand Slam. 

"Definitely that feeling, I don’t want to feel it again," Jabeur told Fox News Digital while discussing her partnership with Lotto Sport, which she will be wearing during the U.S. Open. "So I want to make sure I win every match. It’s a different Grand Slam, the last Grand Slam of the season. So if I do play another final, I for sure learned a lot from [Wimbledon]."

Of course, Jabeur and her team have investigated what caused those three final appearances to go the opposite way they wanted. It is not necessarily anything mechanical that she needs to change. Unforced errors and better shots from the opponent happens, too.
