Ons Jabeur
作为世界最古老的网球锦标赛,每年6月和7月,全球的球迷们都会收看温网的比赛。
周六,贾贝尔是女单冠军的热门人选,此前她曾在两次大满贯决赛中失利。如果夺冠,贾贝尔将成为第一个赢得大满贯的阿拉伯选手,也将成为第一位非洲女选手获得此殊荣。
然而,为创造历史的压力对这位28岁的选手来说变得不堪重负,导致她在直落两盘的比赛中输给了未种植的马尔凯塔·冯德罗索娃。在接受奖杯时,她的眼泪流淌下来,可见她的失望之情。同样,她的丈夫坐在观众席上也无法掩饰自己的情绪。
贾贝尔不得不连续两年接受亚军奖杯。
"我会努力的,但这真的非常非常困难,"她一边擦着眼泪,一边对中心球场的观众们说道。"我认为这是我职业生涯中最痛苦的失利。"
贾贝尔透露,在更衣室里她和金·克里斯特斯一起哭泣。克里斯特斯在赢得大满贯冠军之前曾在前四次大满贯决赛中失利。这位比利时选手的职业生涯非常成功,赢得了四个大满贯冠军。
"在比赛前几分钟,我感到很大的压力和紧张,"贾贝尔谈到了自己的心情。"但就像每场决赛、每场比赛一样,我告诉自己没事,这是正常的。我真的没有做错任何事情。我已经尽力了。"
全球的球迷们给贾贝尔留下了鼓励的留言,包括威尔士王妃。贾贝尔表示她鼓励她要坚强,要回来赢得大满贯,赢得温网。

Ons Jabeur Falls To Unseeded Vondrošová In Wimbledon Finals, Narrowly Missing Out On Trophy For Second Consecutive Year
As the world's oldest tennis tournament, fans globally tune in to Wimbledon every June and July.
On Saturday, Tunisian player Ons Jabeur was the favorite to win the women's title, having lost two previous grand slam finals. If crowned, Jabeur would make history as the first Arab to win a grand slam and the first African woman to do so.
However, the weight of creating a historic moment became overwhelming for the 28-year-old, resulting in her defeat in straight sets against the unseeded Markéta Vondroušová. The visible disappointment was evident as tears streamed down her face while receiving the trophy. Similarly, her husband in the spectators' section couldn't conceal his emotions either.
Jabeur had to settle for the runners-up trophy for the second successive year.
"I will try but this is very, very tough," she said as she addressed the Centre Court crowd while wiping her eyes. "I think this is the most painful loss of my career."
Jabeur revealed she cried in the locker room with Kim Clijsters, who had lost her first four grand slam finals before eventually winning a major title. The Belgian had a successful career with four grand slams.
"I felt a lot of pressure, feeling a lot of stress," Jabeur said of the minutes leading up to the match. "But like every final, like every match I played, I was telling myself it's okay, it's normal. I honestly did nothing wrong. I did everything that I could."
Fans globally left encouraging messages to Jabeur, including the Princess of Wales. Jabeur said she encouraged her to be strong, to come back and win a grand slam, win a Wimbledon.
