Ons Jabeur isn't just one of the best players on tour, she's also one of the most likeable. The Tunisian reached the final of Wimbledon and the US Open last season and plenty within the game would love nothing more than for the 28-year-old to definitively scratch her grand slam itch.

Jabeur's 6-0, 6-3 destruction of two-time former Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova in the fourth round was typical of the wily operator's mesmerising box of tricks, combing slices, drop shots and incredible redistribution of power in arguably the performance of the tournament. Jabeur has dropped just one set – to former US Open champion Bianca Andreescu – en route to the last eight and will be desperate for revenge over the person who defeated her in last year's final on Centre Court.

Elena Rybakina backed up her victory in SW19 12 months ago with a spectacular run to the Australian Open final at the beginning of 2023. The Kazakh has impressed in reaching the last eight this year, also dropping just one set to Shelby Rodgers in the second round, but it's the 24-year-old's first serve that stands out most.

No player on tour can match the third seed's ace tally this year. Rybakina's high first serve percentage also contributes to her ability to dominate from the back of the court with her aggressive baseline game. A solid volleyer, Rybakina will need to set up the point well before advancing up the court, with Jabeur possessing one of the finest passing shots in tennis.

Jabeur and Rybakina have met four times previously, their head-to-head record locked at 2-2. Their most recent meeting was the 2022 Wimbledon, won by Rybakina in three sets. Make sure to catch all the Wimbledon action by tuning into a Jabeur vs Rybakina live stream. Scroll down for details.
