Ons Jabeur

La Tunisienne Ons Jabeur et la Polonaise Iga Swiatek ont toutes les deux atteint la finale des Internationaux des États-Unis, jeudi soir.

La Tunisienne a le numéro de sa rivale depuis plusieurs années, ayant remporté les deux affrontements précédents entre les deux tenniswomen. La cinquième raquette mondiale a brisé Garcia d’entrée, avant de lui voler à nouveau son service lors des cinquième et septième jeux. Avec le tennis tout simplement sublime que Caroline Garcia a disputé au cours des dernières semaines, on pouvait s’attendre à de grandes choses de la Française en demi-finale contre Jabeur.

Jabeur fell in her first Grand Slam final, at Wimbledon to Elena Rybakina, cracking under nerves and heavy pressure she felt after making history as the first ...

She has less than two days now to prepare for a second Grand Slam final, and Jabeur plans to use the time thinking about her first. “The most important thing is accept that I’m playing a big final and accept all the emotions that are going to come my way,” Jabeur said. With the way I’m playing, I feel like it’s going to be great final for me.” A cornerstone of Garcia’s aggressive game is she stands well inside the baseline to return, better for taking the ball early and jumping down her opponents’ throats. … I was going to ask him about the serve, but then I forgot. The match was Garcia’s first Grand Slam semifinal and she spent her time between points gulping big puffs of air or furrowing her brow in consternation while Jabeur looked focused and ready. “Especially when I talk to my coach before the matches, I just feel like now I can do whatever I can do and what I want to do on the court, which is surprising for me, and I surprise myself so many times. For Jabeur, the loss at Wimbledon was a lesson in self-belief and managing her emotions. Garcia carried a 13-match winning streak into the semifinal and hadn’t dropped a set at the U.S. Even just after the match, I was just going to do my things and not realizing it was an amazing achievement already,” Jabeur said. But just going and going and just doing my thing.” Jabeur will be filling screens again Saturday after steamrolling a red-hot Caroline Garcia 6-1, 6-3 on Thursday in the semifinals of the U.S.

Je suis vraiment contente qu'elle ne m'ait pas breakée à la fin. « C'était très important de réussir le plus de services possibles. Excellente en retour, Jabeur a converti les quatre balles de bris qu'elle s'est procurées. Elle s'était alors inclinée face à la Kazakhe Elena Rybakina.

It is also her second grand slam final of the year, after winning the French Open, and her first career away from clay. She is the first Arab player and African woman to reach the US Open final. Although she did not win, it has only imbued her with even more confidence and calm in the important moments.
