What could be more heart-breaking than a slam final defeat? Losing a slam final after beating four former slam champions on the bounce could well be the answer. Ons Jabeur, the Tunisian sensation had a dream couple of weeks at this year’s Wimbledon Championships. She had a nightmare of a draw in the second week, but she passed with flying colors.

Bianca Andreescu, Petra Kvitova, Elena Rybakina, and Aryna Sabalenka, all were the victim of Jabeur’s magic. However, after outclassing four renowned tennis stars, the racket did not have enough magic left for the final task. Jabeur’s emotions were on full display after she failed to win the final as an outright favorite against Marketa Vondrousova.

The post-match ceremonies are a difficult experience for the losing player. You have no time to regroup yourself after a distressing loss, as the organisers are always in a rush. Immediately after the final, the Tunisian had to come up to the stage and collect the runner-up trophy. As she collected the trophy, tears came running down her face. The crowd applauded her valiant efforts, but Jabeur couldn’t help herself but breakdown right there.

It was Jabeur’s third slam final defeat, and the pain was visible in the eyes. The Tunisian revealed that of the three defeats, which slam final hurt her the most.

To add to Jabeur’s misery, after the trophy collection, she had to give an on-court interview as well. When asked about her thoughts on the final, Jabeur said, “I think this is the most painful loss of my career.”

The statement explains the magnitude of the defeat. For someone to lose three slam finals in a span of 52 weeks and instantly assess that the current one was the worst of the lot, shows how much it meant to Jabeur. She was a clear favorite and in sublime form, coming into the final. For instance, her previous slam final opponents were Iga Swiatek and Elena Rybakina, against whom the Tunisian did not fancy her chances.
