Top-ranked tennis player Ons Jabeur made history this summer when she became the first Arab woman and first African woman to reach a Grand Slam final.

But the 2022 Wimbledon runner-up has her eyes set on achieving more when she returns to New York this month for the U.S. Open. 

Jabeur, 27, told Fox News Digital in an interview this week that her recent success on the tour has been a "great process" in the making that reached a turning point with a promise to herself after a heartbreaking exit at Wimbledon in 2021.

"Last year, when I made the quarterfinals, I made a big promise to myself that I want to come back and win that tournament. So it's been, you know, great just being in the finals," Jabeur said. "Obviously, I wished for the bigger title but, you know, it's part of the great process. And I feel like we're getting there, to get the title maybe next time."

Elena Rybakina broke Jabeur’s 12-match winning streak in the final, beating her in three sets, 3-6, 6-2, 6-2. But, with history on the line, Jabeur received an overwhelming amount of support from the crowd. 

"I mean, of course the pressure is always there. But, you know, I really appreciate it. This is part of the reason why I play tennis. I kind of signed up for this," she told Fox News Digital of the crowds that gathered at The All England Club for her appearance in the finals.
