For the second major in a row, she comes in as a title favourite fresh off a title but it did not work out well at Roland Garros.
She explained that the pressure of being among the favourites for the French Open left Jabeur in a position she was not comfortable with:
"Going to the French Open, I really felt that pressure of everybody
expecting me to do well. I wasn't used to that. I was just
an invisible player going to Grand Slams, doing well sometimes. But, I tried to learn from that, not overplay, not play a lot of matches on grass, just prepare myself for the main goal."
Jabeur added:
"The good thing is I keep positive. I always say something bad
happens because there is a great thing coming. I believe there is still
great things coming for me. I feel like I want those things to happen so I can learn. Maybe
sometimes I need to learn the hard way. It is what it is. I'm not going
to start crying about the past or whatever happened. For sure it
happened for a reason. Maybe I wasn't prepared enough. Maybe I didn't do
something good enough. But I try to do everything 100%. It didn't go
well for the French Open. Maybe something big is happening here."
