Billie Jean King sends message to Ons Jabeur after Wimbledon heartbreak

NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

Billie Jean King has sent a message to Ons Jabeur following heartbreak for the Tunisian trailblazer in Saturday’s Wimbledon final.

Jabeur went into the Championship match as the strong favourite against unseeded world No.42 Marketa Vondrousova but lost in straight sets.

It means the 28-year-old has lost two successive Wimbledon finals after a runner-up finish to Elena Rybakina and Jabeur has labelled her defeat to Vondrousova as the most painful loss of her entire career.

Jabeur was bidding to become Africa’s first female Grand Slam champion and was in floods of tears on Centre Court following Vondrousova’s stunning victory.
