Ons Jabeur “did not expect to be in the quarters” at Roland-Garros

Ons Jabeur, after his loss in the quarter-finals of Roland-Garros : “A difficult match. It’s never easy to play against (Beatriz) Haddad Maia but she played very well. She was probably better prepared physically than me. We always want to do better, that’s for sure, unless we win the title. But I think it’s a good tournament. Honestly, I didn’t expect to be in the quarters, especially because it’s almost my first tournament since I hurt myself. I rushed my return a bit because I really wanted to play here.

I had my chance at 5-5 (in the second set, she had two break points). The only thing maybe I should have done was be more aggressive in the second set. It’s tennis and the gr season has already started in my head. I want to enjoy playing on this surface. I hope to get the title at Wimbledon. I dream about it. It’s a shame compared to last year because I was very close (Jabeur lost in the final). But as soon as I put something in my head, I know I can do it. »
