Tunisian No.3 seed Ons Jabeur became the first Arab or North African player – man or woman – to reach a Grand Slam semi-final thanks to a 3-6, 6-1, 6-1 triumph over Marie Bouzkova on Centre Court on Tuesday.

The Tunisian world No.2 had fallen in the last-eight stage of a Grand Slam on two previous occasions but finally checked that semi-final milestone off her bucketlist with a hard-fought victory over the world No.66 Bouzkova.
Ons Jabeur is yet to lose a singles match on grass this season.
