Ons Jabeur was one set away from winning a Grand Slam title at Wimbledon last year and the Tunisian said on Saturday that she hoped to go one step further this time around and make history at the All England Club.
Jabeur took the first set in last year's final before Kazakhstan's Elena Rybakina rallied to win in three, denying the Tunisian a first Grand Slam crown.
"People mentioning I'm the finalist of last year, it's not great going in the locker room and seeing Elena's picture but I try to take it off," Jabeur told reporters amid laughter.
