Wimbledon 2023 LIVE: Ons Jabeur battles Elena Rybakina before Carlos Alcaraz returns

The Wimbledon quarter-finals continue today with a rematch of last year’s final taking place in the women’s draw and Carlos Alcaraz competing in the pick of the men’s matches. Elena Rybakina will go up against Ons Jabeur in the first contest of the day, as the defending champion looks to repeat her success against the Tunisian from 12 months ago. However, Jabeur was in scintillating form last time out, thrashing two-time Wimbledon winner Petra Kvitova . In the other Centre Court match for the day, Alcaraz takes on fellow 20-year-old Holger Rune . World No 1 Alcaraz fought from behind in the last round to overcome Matteo Berrettini , and sixth seed Rune did the same against Grigor Dimitrov. Yesterday, Novak Djokovic continued his title defence as he saw off the challenge of Andrey Rublev to reach his 46th grand slam semi-final, which equals Roger Federer ‘s all-time record. In the result of the day, Ukrainian wildcard Elina Svitolina knocked out world No 1 Iga Swiatek to extend her stunning run at the Championships .

To that end, the Tunisian fires down her own big, booming ace to hold serve and move ahead again in the second set. Rybakina must now serve out to prolong this second set. Rybakina 7-6 4-4 Jabeur* – more serving prowess from Rybakina 14:55 , Ben Fleming She may have been broken a couple of times in this match but the serve of Rybakina still remains a constant thorn in Jabeur’s side as she looks to mount a comeback. There’s a puff of white chalk as another serve out wide catches the line and flies past Jabeur. All square again. *Rybakina 7-6 3-4 Jabeur – Jabeur holds 14:52 , Ben Fleming And now a more confident hold of serve follows from Jabeur as well as she wins the point with a delightful shot into the right corner of centre court. Rybakina 7-6 3-3 Jabeur* – Rybakina holds 14:48 , Ben Fleming The defending champion has the lead and makes light work of her most recent service game to level the second set at 3-3. *Rybakina 7-6 2-3 Jabeur – Jabeur saves three break points 14:44 , Ben Fleming Now it’s Jabeur with the slip-up and double fault on serve as Rybakina races into a 0-30 lead. Rybakina fires long at 0-30 but some consistent backhands put Jabeur under pressure and force another mistake. Two break points for Jabeur to save…and she does, the second of which is done so with a wonderful ace. Another break point saved! This time Jabeur arrows a shot into the far corner as she saves her third break point of the game. And a fabulous hold of serve it is eventually with a series of pin-point backhands from the Tunisian. A massive moment of the game potentially and a crucial hold of serve. Rybakina 7-6 2-2 Jabeur* – Rybakina holds serve 14:39 , Ben Fleming A 100mph second serve is risky from Rybakina and her second double fault of the match brings us to 30-30 in this game. A bad miss from Jabeur, though, is compounded by a clinical serve and forehand combination from Rybakina as the defending champ levels this set up at 2-2 14:35 , Jamie Braidwood Game, set and match! Aryna Sabalenka 6-2 6-4 Madison Keys Aryna Sabalenka is through to the Wimbledon semi-finals, returning there for the first time since 2021. The Belarusian turns around the second set in style, coming from 0-40, 2-4 down to win four games in a row and beat Madison Keys 6-2 6-4. An awesome performance from Sabalenka, who will face wither Elena Rybakina or Ons Jabeur for a place in the Wimbledon final. ‘2-4, 0-40, it was just incredible. Thank you so much for the atmosphere. Even if you support her more, I really enjoyed playing in front of you guys.’ *Rybakina 7-6 1-2 Jabeur – Jabeur holds 14:35 , Ben Fleming Jabeur almost makes a mess of her service game as she lets 40-15 slip to deuce. But a couple of thumping forehands means the Tunisian moves ahead to 2-1 in this second set. Rybakina 7-6 1-1 Jabeur* – Rybakina saves three break points 14:32 , Ben Fleming That’s an uncharacteristic missed volley from Rybakina, with the court gaping, and it’s followed up with a deft drop shot from Ons Jabeur which the Kazakh can only direct wide of the lines. Within an instant, the Tunisian has three break points and the perfect platform to respond emphatically after losing the last set. Or not! Some thumping serves from the defending champion to save all three break points. A whipping cross-court forehand brings up advantage straight away for Rybakina and Jabeur nets to give Rybakina the hold straight away. A huge missed opportunity there for the Tunisian, albeit there wasn’t much she could do with many of those serves from Rybakina on break point. Wimbledon 2023: Aryna Sabalenka vs Madison Keys 14:29 , Jamie Braidwood *Aryna Sabalenka 6-2 5-4 Madison Keys Sabalenka turns it around! The Belarusian steps up the power on her forehand and Keys can’t control the volley at the net as it pings over the baseline. Sabalenka will serve for the set next. *Rybakina 7-6 0-1 Jabeur – Jabeur holds to love 14:27 , Ben Fleming The Tunisian has to ensure she doesn’t let that frustrating end to the last set affect her too much. And it doesn’t appear to have as she holds to love in the opening game of the second set. Rybakina 7-6 Jabeur – defending champion takes first-set tie-break 14:24 , Ben Fleming Jabeur slams another ball into the ground as she finds the net with yet another shot. Rybakina takes advantage, driving the next point through the middle of the court before crushing a forehand volley with the following one. 6-3 in the tie-break and three set points coming up for the defending champion now. Jabeur saves the first couple on her serve but a thunderous serve down the T is too much for Jabeur and brings up the opening set for the Kazakh. Wimbledon 2023: Aryna Sabalenka vs Madison Keys 14:21 , Jamie Braidwood *Aryna Sabalenka 6-2 3-4 Madison Keys Madison Keys pumps her fist as she converts her third break point to edge ahead of Aryna Sabalenka in the second set of their Wimbledon quarter-finals. The American’s backhand is firing sweetly now. Sabalenka looks perplexed… … but not for much longer. The second seed breaks straight back. Rybakina 6-6 Jabeur – all-sqaure in the tie-break 14:20 , Ben Fleming Jabeur had been ice-cold up until the final game of this set but there are just a few seeds of frustration creeping into her game. She gifts Rybakina a mini-break but does well to cancel it out with the next point. Even at 3-3 as they switch sides. Rybakina 6-6 Jabeur – Rybakina breaks back for tie-break 14:17 , Ben Fleming At 0-15 up, it’s a poor shot from Rybankina which catches the net and levels the game up at 15-15. Another chance follows as Jabeur fires long…and then nets! Nervy from the Tunisian and it gifts Rybakina two break-back points. The serve out wide saves the first break point and some consummate hitting saves the next! Back to deuce. Long again from Rybakina and a set point for Jabeur…not to be as the Tunisian nets. Some frustration now for Jabeur as she finds the net for a second successive time to gift Rybakina another break opportunity and this time the champion makes no mistake. Tie-break it is… Rybakina 5-6 Jabeur* – Jabeur breaks, serves for opeing set 14:11 , Ben Fleming It’s taken just 28 minutes to rattle through the first 10 games of this match but we’re at the crucial point now. It’s dogged defence from Jabeur to win the first point but it’s followed by an unreturnable 115mph serve out wide from Rybakina. The Kazakh advances to the net for the next point but Jabeur holds firm and whips a forehand past the attempted backhand volley of Rybakina. She fires long with the next point and Jabeur has two break points! And what a way to break! Another superb passing shot with her backhand. She had no right to make that shot and had to wait for confirmation from the umpire before letting out a slight grin in celebration. She now serves for the set. *Rybakina 5-5 Jabeur – Jabeur holds to love 14:07 , Ben Fleming That is a classy point from Jabeur. A jumping backhand is arrowed into the corner of the court and sets up a precise, perfectly-executed opening point for the Tunsian which is wrapped up with a confident volley and a raise of the racquet to the cheering Wimbledon crowd. A hold of love follows and we’re back even at 5-5. Rybakina 5-4 Jabeur* – Jabeur serving to stay in the first set 14:05 , Ben Fleming It feels like Rybakina is happy to play the role of the aggressor in this contest with the Kazakh constantly looking to hit moving forward and into the corners. It’s working well for her now as she fires a missile of a forehand away from Jabeur’s outstretched racquet. A hold of serve for the defending champion. Jabeur now serves to prolong this first set. *Rybakina 4-4 Jabeur – Jabeur levels 14:02 , Ben Fleming And just like that, we’re back level again. Serve dominating once again on centre court as Jabeur holds with ease. Rybakina 4-3 Jabeur* – Rybakina holds 13:59 , Ben Fleming It’s either been a blistering break or a comfortable hold for both of these players so far. This time it’s the latter as Rybakina serves out for a hold of serve to edge ahead in this first set. *Rybakina 3-3 Jabeur – Jabeur consolidates break 13:56 , Ben Fleming That was the first time since Rybakina’s very first game of the tournament that the defending champion has been broken and what a way to do it from Jabeur. And last year’s runner-up consolidates her break with some more excellent hitting to neutralise Rybakina’s power. A cute lob over Rybakina’s head secures a great hold and we are back level at 3-3. Rybakina 3-2 Jabeur* – Jabeur breaks back 13:53 , Ben Fleming Now it’s Rybakina under pressure as she looks to consolidate her break with Jabeur racing into a 0-30 lead. Oh, that’s marvellous from Jabeur! A drop shot from way back in the court is expertly executed. Rybakina gets to it but Jabeur is onto the Kazakh’s follow-up drop shot in a flash and flicks it over the net and into the vacant backcourt. Three break points…and like Rybakina last game she only needs one with a thunderous return of serve! What a response from the Tunisian and we are back on serve. *Rybakina 3-1 Jabeur – Rybakina breaks to love 13:49 , Ben Fleming Well, I take that previous statement back. Out of nowhere, a few mistakes and some more clean hitting from Rybakina brings up three break points for the Kazakh. And she converts at the first time of asking as Jabeur fires wide with a stooping backhand. An early break for the defending champion. Rybakina 2-1 Jabeur* – Rybakina holds 13:46 , Ben Fleming Early signs show how difficult it could be for both players to break each other’s serve. Neither has had even a sniff of an opportunity in these first three games as Rybakina holds with ease again. *Rybakina 1-1 Jabeur – Jabuer holds to love 13:43 , Ben Fleming An early ace from Jabeur as she serves for the first time this match. Some really crisp hitting on display from the Tunisian to match as she holds to love. Rybakina 1-0 Jabeur* – Rybakina holds 13:41 , Ben Fleming What a rally to start us off! Side-to-side, back-to-front, all-action stuff. Jabeur comes forward at full stretch but can’t quite keep her low passing shot in. Rybakina’s power with the serve is on display early as she fires down her face of the match with the very next point. A fairly comfortable hold of serve for the defending champion to start. Wimbledon 2023: Elena Rybakina vs Ons Jabeur 13:38 , Ben Fleming There was some slight rain as the players were warming up but that seems to have left us, thankfully. Rybakina to serve first. Wimbledon 2023: Queen Camilla in the Royal Box 13:36 , Jamie Braidwood Her Majesty the Queen will make an appearance in the Royal Box at Wimbledon, her first since stepping into her new role alongside King Charles III. She was last seen at the sporting event in 2019. She will be there today with her sister, Annabel Elliot. Wimbledon 2023: Aryna Sabalenka vs Madison Keys 13:32 , Jamie Braidwood *Aryna Sabalenka 4-1 Madison Keys Double break! Wow – what an emphatic start from Sabalenka. The second seed is racing through the opening set against Madison Keys, who has looked so solid through the tournament. The American also calls the trainer after going 4-1 down. Wimbledon 2023: Elena Rybakina vs Ons Jabeur 13:28 , Ben Fleming There was a smattering of showers earlier in south west London but the roof is currently open on centre court as we prepare for the first match of the day. Wimbledon 2023: Elena Rybakina vs Ons Jabeur 13:20 , Ben Fleming Ahead of this match, the pair have met four times, with both players winning twice. Jabeur has the better of the Kazakh player on hard courts with a 2-1 record but as previously mentioned, it is Rybakina who had the all-important victory on grass last year in the final of Wimbledon. That surely will provide her with plenty of confidence but she’s up against an in-form Jabeur who showcased her own ability with her superb dismantling of former champion, Petro Kvitova, in the last round. Wimbledon 2023: Elena Rybakina vs Ons Jabeur 13:10 , Ben Fleming Our first match on centre court sees a rematch of last year’s Wimbledon final as Elena Rybakina takes on Ons Jabeur. A quick reminder of how they both got to this point in the tournament. Rybakina: Round 1: bt. Shelby Rogers 4-6 6-1 6-2 Round 2: bt. Alize Cornet 6-2 7-6 Round 3: bt. Katie Boulter 6-1 6-1 Round of 16: bt. Beatriz Haddad Maia via walkover Jabeur: Round 1: bt. Magdalena Frech 6-3 6-3 Round 2: bt. Zhuoxuan Bai 6-1 6-1 Round 3: bt. Bianca Andreescu 3-6 6-3 6-4 Round of 16: bt. Petra Kvitova 6-0 6-3 Centre Court action coming up 13:00 , Ben Fleming Action on centre court should get underway in about half an hour. A reminder of the two matches that we have scheduled: 1. Elena Rybakina (KAZ) [3] vs Ons Jabeur (TUN) [6] 2. Carlos Alcaraz (ESP) [1] vs Holger Rune (DEN) [6] First up, Elena Rybakina faces Ons Jabeur in a rematch of last year’s Wimbledon final before the men’s draw will see Carlos Alcaraz face rival Holger Rune in the first Wimbledon quarter-final in the Open era to be played between two players under the age of 21. Doubles dream over for British duo 12:45 , Ben Fleming Maia Lumsden and Naiktha Bains were in action earlier on court two but it was an unfortunate and swift defeat for the British pair who had become the first all-British pair to reach the quarter-finals of the Wimbledon women’s doubles in 40 years. A 6-2 6-1 defeat Storm Hunter and Elise Mertens means their tournament is over. The victorious pair will go on to face hang Shuai and Caroline Dolehide in the semi-finals. Up next on that court, Jamie Murray and his partner Michael Venus face German duo Tim Pütz and Kevin Krawietz in the men’s doubles quarter-finals.
