Ons Jabeur marked her rise to world number two by reaching the second round of Wimbledon with a 6-1, 6-3 win over Mirjam Bjorklund in the Swedish qualifiers on Monday. Jabeur, who is in the quarterfinals in 2021 and just won the grass court title in Berlin, raced to victory in just 54 minutes under the roof of Court One.
“Today I achieved the highest ranking ever and to drop only four games is a great start to the tournament,” said the Tunisian.
“It’s great to be back at Court One. The grass is perfect for my drops and cuts.
“Now I hope to progress beyond the quarterfinals.”
