Wimbledon: Ons Jabeur & Elena Rybakina bid to make further history in final
Jabeur spoke after her semi-final victory of her pride in being a Tunisian woman and has been nicknamed the 'Minister of Happiness' back home.
"If I make it on that special holiday, one of my favourites actually, it's going to be great," she said."We'll have to enjoy it and hopefully we'll enjoy it in positive vibes."Having banned Russian and Belarusian players from competing following the invasion of Ukraine, Wimbledon could still have a Russian-born player lifting the winner's trophy.
Rybakina has represented Kazakhstan since she was 19 and credits its funding and support with helping her make it as a professional tennis player. "They believed in me. There is no more question about how I feel. It's already a long time my journey as a Kazakh player."
