Her around-the-net-post winner. Her streak of 16 consecutive points, tied for the second-longest run at Wimbledon in more than 40 years. Her 29 break chances (yes, 29). Her crouching down to vomit beneath the Royal Box because of a stomach issue (yes, you read that right, too).<\/p>\n

Let's instead follow Jabeur's lead, though, and focus on the big picture. By beating the 11th-seeded Muguruza, a two-time major title winner, by a 7-5, 3-6, 6-2 score on Friday, Jabeur became the first Arab woman to reach the fourth round at the All England Club.<\/p>\n
This comes two weeks after the 26-year-old from Tunisia became the first Arab to win a WTA title; she earned the trophy at a grass-court tuneup at Birmingham.<\/p>\n
"It means a lot. Especially (with) so many Arab people watching me and supporting me. I've received a lot of messages from different people. It's amazing. But I don't want the journey to stop here. I want to continue," said Jabeur, who is seeded 21st.<\/p>\n

"I mean, hopefully whoever is watching, I hope that so many (of the) young generation is watching, and I can inspire them."<\/p>\n Jabeur will try to get to the second Grand Slam quarterfinal of her career by defeating 2020 French Open champion Iga Swiatek on Monday.<\/p>\n And why not? Jabeur already has eliminated a pair of players who own multiple major titles this week: Muguruza and, in the second round, Venus Williams.<\/p>\n "Honestly, she's just breaking down barriers. The first woman from her country to do anything that she's doing," Williams said about Jabeur. "She's inspiring so many people, including me."<\/p>\n Muguruza saved that match point but Jabeur made no mistake when she secured a second one and fell on her back in celebration getting back up to a standing ovation.<\/p>\n Her victory will do wonders for her goal of encouraging more Arab women, especially in North Africa, to take up the sport and eventually join her on the professional circuit.<\/p>\n It was another landmark performance by Jabeur who only last month became the first Arab woman to win a WTA Tour title, winning on grass at Birmingham.<\/p>\n For a daily dose of the best of the breaking news and exclusive content from Wide World of Sports, subscribe to our newsletter by<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0clicking here!<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sure, some of the little details of Ons Jabeur's victory over 2017 champion Garbi\u00f1e Muguruza at Wimbledon are worth recounting, because they were far from […]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94437"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=94437"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94437\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":94439,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94437\/revisions\/94439"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=94437"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=94437"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=94437"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/p>\n
