Last year's runner-up Ons Jabeur came from a set down to keep alive her Wimbledon dream with a 3-6 6-4 6-3 victory over former Grand Slam champion Bianca Andreescu on Saturday.
The Tunisian, the first Arab woman to reach a Grand Slam final, struggled to find her best on her first match back on Centre Court since last year's final.
"I didn't play my best tennis but I wanted to be more aggressive. I'm playing against a grand slam champion and she made the mission tough." She still had to serve it out, but did so calmly, sealing it with an ace, to move into a fourth-round clash against two-time champion Petra Kvitova -- roaring with relief after match point.
