“Losing the Wimbledon final was difficult, and this defeat will also be difficult,” Jaber said in a press conference after losing the US Open final, which was won by world number one Sviñatek 6-2 7-6 (7-5). I will see if I can sleep. But winning and losing is part of tennis. It took me a while to win my first professional title and it will take time for me to win a grand slam as well.”
“I will not stop fighting,” she said. I will definitely report another final. I am sure that I will improve and that I have a lot of finals waiting for me.”
Jaber, who will rise to second place in the WTA rankings issued on Monday, confirmed that she will rest for a few days before she begins to analyze what happened in the final against Shwentek, who considered that she “played better in the right moments.”
Jaber highlighted that she will target next season to top the world rankings, saying, “I will try to prepare for the next season, because I undoubtedly aimed to rise to first place because I do not have points to defend in the Australian Open and Wimbledon.”
On being the first African to reach the final of a major tournament, Jaber expressed her desire to be a model for more female players in Africa.
“They should believe in themselves and never stop fighting,” she said. That’s what I’ve tried to do in my career.”
