Ons Jabeur advanced to her first Grand Slam final after defeating Tatjana Maria, 6-2, 3-6, 6-1 on Thursday.
The No. 3 seed became the first Arab player to reach a major final with the win. Jabeur is also the first African woman to reach a Grand Slam final during the Open era. During Saturday’s final, the Tunisian player will either face 2019 Wimbledon champion Simona Halep or No. 17 seed Elena Rybakina.
Prior to Jabeur, the only other Tunisian to reach the WTA top 100 in rankings was Selima Sfar, peaking at No. 75 in July 2001.
