Ons Jabeur seems to have developed a liking for Wimbledon. She is up against a familiar opponent who does not leave any chances behind. Jabeur’s form in her last three matches is enough to prove how determined she is to win the title this time. She has taken out title contenders on her way to the final while making sure it was done without spending too much time on the court.
Jabeur is playing in her sixth Wimbledon. She has been improving each year at the event and this time she has room for one more win. She will be seeking her first Grand Slam title in her third final. The 28-year-old has been playing well from the start and yet again has the chance to make history in the sport.
Jabeur is now known for her revenge, as it seems that she has been sorting out her past accounts at this year’s Wimbledon. The world No. 6 has a checklist and has been marking it after each round. Fans have already decoded her account book, as she has taken revenge against players who defeated her at this event. Now it can be the fate of Marketa Vondrousova, as she ended up on the winning side the last time they played this year.
Ons Jabeur’s revenge journey at Wimbledon 2023
The two-time Grand Slam finalist first took revenge against Petra Kvitova in the fourth round. Kvitova defeated Jabeur in the 2019 championships. This time she got a bagel in the first set, and the match was over in an hour. The two-time Wimbledon champion had defeated Jabeur four times in the last five matches but never had a chance this time. Next on the list was Elena Rybakina, who defeated her in last year’s final.
Rybakina denied Jabeur her first Grand Slam title at Wimbledon in 2022. This year, Jabeur settled the score in the quarterfinals with a hard-fought victory. The script was followed again in the semifinals. It was Aryna Sabalenka on the other end, and she had to pay the price for her win in 2021. Sabalenka had won over Jabeur in the quarterfinals, but this time history did not repeat itself.

Jabeur has one more piece missing in the puzzle and can only complete it in the final. Vondrousova defeated the 2022 US Open finalist in the second round at the Australian Open this year. She did the same four months ago at Indian Wells. Jabeur will try to mark the checklist again as she has accounts to settle with Vondrousova. So far, the revenge journey has been working perfectly, and Vondrousova will try to be an exception.
