Despite having trained well, the 30-year-old Tunisian struggled in the heat, impacting her performance and confidence in what has been a challenging season.
In a surprising turn at Wimbledon, twice finalist Ons Jabeur exited early, bowing out during her first-round match against Viktoriya Tomova. The Tunisian's tournament run was cut short just one hour and 25 minutes in, as she retired amid intense heat, leaving fans and analysts stunned.
Jabeur, who has notched two consecutive appearances in the Wimbledon finals, struggled with the oppressive 34-degree Celsius conditions on Court 14. The former world number two required a prolonged medical timeout, highlighting challenges with her asthma, a condition that resurfaced at this year's Australian Open.
Reflecting on her unexpected withdrawal, Jabeur expressed her disappointment. "I wasn't expecting not to feel good," she stated, citing her ongoing training efforts. Despite the setback, she remains hopeful for recovery and to regain her footing after a tough season.
