Jabeur, who reached the Wimbledon final in both 2022 and 2023, appeared visibly distressed during her time on Court 14, struggling in the oppressive heat as temperatures soared to 92\u00b0F (33.3\u00b0C). The former World No. 2 dropped a tight first set in a tiebreak and was trailing 2-0 in the second when she called time on the match. She had taken a lengthy medical timeout in the opening set and was seen in tears before eventually making the difficult decision to withdraw.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The 30-year-old, who suffers from asthma and had already experienced breathing difficulties earlier this year at the Australian Open, admitted the situation had caught her off guard. \u201cI wasn\u2019t expecting not to feel good,\u201d she said post-match.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Jabeur\u2019s ongoing injury woes have plagued her throughout the year. After a shoulder injury cut short her 2024 season prematurely, she made a tentative return to the tour only to suffer a leg strain at the Miami Open, leaving the court in tears. These physical setbacks have seen her slide outside the top 50 in the world rankings, a steep fall for a player who, not long ago, was seen as one of the biggest contenders in women\u2019s tennis.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
