‘Not easy – really relieved’published at 18:12
Jabeur 1-6 6-7 (4-7) Svitolina
Elina Svitolina speaking on Centre Court after her victory over Ons Jabeur:
“Really tight second set, I was trying to stay focused and a big relief to win the tie-break. Tie-break is always a bit of a lottery.
“Not easy to play against such a champion like Ons [Jabeur], she’s had two finals here and always very tricky to play on the grass. Important to play one point at a time and I played great tennis here. Really relieved and happy with my performance.”
On husband Gael Monfils watching on: “Today was a bit of a different story for our family. Disappointing that Gael lost yesterday and I was a bit inspired by Grigor’s [Dimitrov] performance yesterday [Dimitrov beat Monfils in straight sets]. With Gael’s support today it’s amazing to have him support me and be there for me, it’s very special.”
