One point away from her biggest win at Wimbledon, Ons Jabeur knelt down at the back of Centre Court and vomited.
Then she got back up and finished the job.
Jabeur came from a set down to beat former Wimbledon champion Garbine Muguruza 5-7, 6-3, 6-2 and reach the fourth round of the grass-court Grand Slam for the first time.
The Tunisian threw up before her first match point, then converted her second with a forehand winner and fell on her back on the grass. Jabeur reached the quarterfinals of last year’s Australian Open but said this was the best day of her career.
Jabeur had not been past the second round at the All England Club in three previous appearances and was playing on Centre Court for the first time. Muguruza won Wimbledon in 2017 and the French Open in 2016.
Muguruza saved 24 break points in total but still lost her serve five times against the big-hitting Jabeur, who finished with 44 winners.
