Wimbledon 2023: Marketa Vondrousova to face Ons Jabeur in Wimbldeon 2023 women singles final

Marketa Vondrousova startled fans with a 6-3 6-3 victory over Elina Svitlona to reach her first Wimbledon final, and Ons Jabeur then played a long match with Aryna Sabalenka to clinch her title showdown with Vondrousova. After two years of captivating tennis in London, Jabeur, dubbed "the Minister of Happiness," will have the British fans on her side.

She came back from a set and 2-4 down to beat Sabalenka on Thursday, with the Centre Court crowd cheering her on. Jabeur and Vondrousova, the world No.42, have a 3-3 head-to-head record, however, the Tunisian admitted she is aware she has lost both of their matches this season.

I'm very proud of myself: Ons Jabeur

Jabeur stated, "I'm very proud of myself because maybe old me would have lost the match today and went back home already but I'm glad that I kept digging deep and finding the strength." "I'm learning to transform the bad energy into a good one so the anger that I had from the first set I tried to stay focused."

"Some things I have no control over. She can ace any time, she can hit a big serve even if I have a breakpoint and that's frustrating a bit but I'm glad that I'm accepting it and digging deep to go and win this match and hopefully the tournament." Prior to her two wins against an injured Jabeur earlier this year, Vondrousova had lost their previous three meetings, including a 6-3, 7-6(4) loss on grass in Eastbourne two years ago.

Things are about to become tougher for the 28-year-old, as she faces the red-hot Vondrousova in the following round. The Czech has been in excellent form in this competition, dropping only two sets in six matches. Jabeur has to put pressure on Vondrousova's serve in order to win the match.
