LONDON: Ons Jabeur will not be lifting the Wimbledon women's singles trophy this year but she said she was "honoured" to have represented Africa with such style and gusto. She then beat three former Grand Slam title winners - Venus Williams, Garbine Muguruza and Iga Swiatek - on her run to her second Grand Slam quarter-final. "I'm honoured," she said about representing Africa at such a huge profile global sports event. Jabeur departs having lost in her second Grand Slam quarter-final - the 2020 Australian Open being the previous one - a "barrier" she hopes to get across next time. It fits my game and I'm really enjoying my time on the court."
