NEW YORK (AP) — Ons Jabeur dropped her racket in disgust after one poor shot in the U.S. Open final. Minutes later, she was on the court right along with it after lunging to hit a volley that flew out of bounds. Jabeur picked herself up and kept on fighting Saturday. That’s exactly what she intends to do after a second straight Grand Slam tournament ended in disappointment with a 6-2, 7-6 (5) loss to Iga Swiatek. Jabeur also lost in the Wimbledon final in her first attempt to win a major. She is trying to become the first African and Arab woman to do so in the professional era, which dates to 1968.
