Tunisian third seed Ons Jabeur hopes to become the first woman from Africa to win a major as she faces 103rd-ranked Tatjana Maria for a place in Saturday's final
Since losing in the opening round at this year's Roland Garros in a shock defeat, Jabeur has won 10 straight matches on grass, having arrived at the All England Club with a title in Berlin in the lead-up.
The story of Jabeur, 27, has been no less amazing as she became the first Arab to reach a Grand Slam singles semi-final and is bidding to become the first woman from Africa to win a major. Jabeur failed to find a way past the Czech's stoic defence as Bouzkova chased down most of her groundstrokes and was rewarded with a break of serve in the fifth game. A second break in the ninth got her the opening set.The 27-year-old stepped up her aggression, started hitting her groundstrokes flatter and broke Bouzkova's first service game of the second set.
Jabeur had won eight straight games to jump into a 4-0 lead before the Czech halted the juggernaut with a break to get on board in the third set.
