Wimbledon:<\/strong> In a rematch of last year's final, No.6 seed Ons Jabeur came from a set down to beat No.3 and defending champion Elena Rybakina in the Wimbledon quarterfinals and return to the semifinal, here on Wednesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

From a set down and 4-4 in the second set, sixth-seeded Jabeur won eight of the next nine games to beat third-seed and defending champion Rybakina 6-7(5), 6-4, 6-1, to reach her third career Grand Slam semifinal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"I believe last year maybe I wasn't ready to play this kind of match. I don't regret last year. It happened for a reason. I always say it. It was meant to be this year. It was meant to be in the quarterfinals," Jabeur said afterwards.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"I have learned a lot from the final last year. Definitely very proud of myself for the improvement that I did mentally, physically, and with the tennis racquet," she added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Notably, Wednesday's match between Jabeur and Rybakina was the first rematch between the prior year's finalists at the next Wimbledon since Serena and Venus Williams played in back-to-back finals from 2008-09.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

For a spot in the final for the second year in a row, Jabeur will next face No.2 seed Aryna Sabalenka, who dismissed Madison Keys in straight sets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Sabalenka leads their head-to-head, 3-1, including a straight-sets win in the Wimbledon quarterfinals in 2021. And the Tunisian is going into Thursday's match with a similar mindset that she had against Rybakina.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"I'm going to try my best to stay focused and take every opportunity. Aryna is more emotional than Elena, so maybe it could be a good or bad thing, I'm not sure. But let's see tomorrow," Jabeur said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"I'm going to prepare and take my revenge from two years ago," she added.<\/p>\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2023\/07\/wimbledon-jabeur-rallies-past-rybakina-to-return-to-semis-1689223677.jpg", "alt_img": "Wimbledon: Jabeur rallies past Rybakina to return to semis", "alt_title": "Wimbledon: Jabeur rallies past Rybakina to return to semis", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Wimbledon: Jabeur Rallies Past Rybakina To Return To Semis On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "In a rematch of last year's final, No.6 seed Ons Jabeur came from a set down to beat No.3 and, Wimbledon: Jabeur Rallies Past Rybakina To Return To Semis.", "seo_keywords": "TennisSports News, Sports News", "tag": null, "tagging": "", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "wimbledon-jabeur-rallies-past-rybakina-to-return-to-semis", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "1", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "574", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "0", "created": "2023-07-13 10:17:57", "updated": "2023-07-13 10:17:57", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Ons Jabeur, Elena Rybakina, Grand Slam, Venus Williams, Aryna Sabalenka, Madison Keys", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "0", "google_feed": "0", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "12", "jio_date": "2023-07-13 10:17:57", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "0", "breaking_news": "1", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "sports_name": "tennis", "cnmid": "760085", "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/sports-news\/wimbledon-jabeur-rallies-past-rybakina-to-return-to-semis-7102" }
