Saturday marked the third Major final that Ons Jabeur has been in but unfortunately, it ended in defeat once again. The Tunisian lost in straight sets to unseeded Marketa Vondrousova, 6-4, 6-4. Remember, she also fell to Elena Rybakina in the 2022 Wimbledon final as well.

Following the match, Jabeur couldn't help but shed some tears and revealed this was possibly the most heartbreaking loss of her tennis journey.

“I think this is the most painful loss of my career. It's going to be a tough day today for me but I'm not going to give up, I'm going to come back stronger and win a Grand Slam one day.”
