She will be her rival on Monday Our Jabeur. Ranked in 24th place in the world ranking, Tunisia confirmed her good form after winning the tournament in Birmingham (first victory in the WTA tournament) and after three sets fight eliminated Garbine Muguruza 5: 7, 6: 3, 6: 2.
The first set of the game played on the central court was a set of errors on both sides. Both players missed even 60% of the first pass and made 25 unforced mistakes in total. In the end, Muguruza won 7: 5, but her game was far from perfect, as evidenced by the fact that Jabeur had as many as 12 break-points throughout the set. Fortunately for the Spanish players, the Tunisian used only two of them, and Muguruza herself used 3 out of 6 balls to break in an analogous situation.

The second batch was completely different. This time, both players won their application in unison, but with one exception. From 3: 3, three more games were won by Jabeur, who definitely improved her game and won 6: 3 with a worse attitude of her opponent.
Would be Jabeur was doing its best. Tunisia scored 16 points in a row and in the third set she took the lead 2-0, and in the next game she had three break-points. Muguruza she managed after 14 balls and game the advantage turned the game over, but then it was Jabeur who won her service again and then broke the Spanish again. The 4: 1 game for Tunisia also lasted 14 balls, and Jabeur only used the fifth break-point in it.
Such a situation Jabeur, who had 29 balls to break in the whole game (of which she used 5), could not be wasted. She won the third set 6: 2 and was promoted to the fourth round Wimbledonin which he will play with Iga Świątek.
Iga Świątek won the only meeting with Jabeur
Both tennis players have met only once – in 2019, at the tournament in Washington, a Pole turned out to be better, defeating Jabeur 4: 6, 6: 4, 6: 4 after a fierce three-set fight.
