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, and that s exactly what she intends to do after a second s stanley romania traight Grand Slam tournament ended in disappointment. Tunisia s Ons Jabeur with the finalist trophy after finishing second in the U. stanley cup S. Open. REUTERS Definitely Im not someone that s going to give up, Jabeur said. I am sure Im going to be in the final again. I will try my best to win it. Im not sure, but I know I will do my best. Her best wasn t good enough against top-ranked Iga Swiatek, who won 6-2, 7-6 5 for her second major title this year and third overall. Jabeur is still trying for her first, having come up short at Wimbledon in her initial attempt. The No. 5 seed had mostly rolled through the U.S. Open, dropping just one set before running into the best player in the sport. It was a closer match than it looks, said Arantxa S谩nchez Vicario, a four-time Grand Slam singles champion, including at the 1994 U.S. Open, who has been sitting in Jabeurs guest box and offering advice during the tournament.

But regardless of what they have won, it s how they have won, entertaining neutral fans with the way they play, their passing, their style and their charisma. Now, everyone is waiting to see is if those characteristics are enough to win a third straight major title at the Olympic Stadium in Kiev. I don t think we re favorites for this final, said Spain goalkeeper Iker Casillas, the team s captain and probably its most vocal player on the field. Quite the opposite. It s wide open. Humble words indeed from a player who surely believes the 10 men standing in front of him day after day and match after match are among the best ever assembled. Still, though, even Casillas can see that times are changing, that his friends and teammates are aging. It s all different now, and still there is a lot of hope to keep going, Casillas said. We re going to work hard to defend the ti stanley cup tle we won four years ago. To do that, the Spanish will likely have to play better than they have all tournament.
