"I'm not ready probably to be a Grand Slam champion. I know that I'm going to come back and win a Grand Slam for sure," Jabeur said in a post-match presentation.

Jabeur has praised Elena Rybakina for not making any 'big celebration' after losing the Wimbledon final to the Kazakh on Saturday.

"Elena is one of the best players of the younger generation. She deserved the Grand Slam. Her game speaks of her for her. She is doing a great job, I hope she continues like this," she added.

"It's nice to play with Elena, honestly. Even if you lose to her, she didn't make any big celebration. I have to show her (laughs). She is the kind of player that she is," said Jabeur.

But first, some much-deserved downtime for Jabeur back home in Tunisia. Jabeur's run to the Wimbledon final inspired a nation, a region, and a continent, and she's been promised quite the welcome when she returns.

"I'm not sure what to expect. I cannot wait to meet Tunisians. They're really amazing. They always support me. Right now I need their support to really continue and do better," Jabeur said. (ANI)
