<p>Tunisian tennis player Ons Jabeur has a history of success at Wimbledon. Jabeur reached the finals in consecutive years in 2022 and 2023, though never won the event. While she has yet to win it all, Wimbledon is her strongest Grand Slam.</p>
<p>In 2025, however, Jabeur won't make it out of the first round.</p>
<p>The 30-year-old was forced to retire due to injury during her first-round matchup against Viktoriya Tomova on Monday. Jabeur appeared to shed tears before making the call to retire from the match.</p>

<p>Jabeur required medical attention in the first set vs. Tomova. After just 26 minutes of play, Jabeur briefly had to leave the court and buried her head in a towel after returning.</p>
<p>After being checked out, Jabeur returned to action, losing the first set 7-5. Jabeur remained on the court to try and play a second set, but fell behind 2-0 before retiring from the contest.</p>
<p>Following the match, Jabeur said she had strong practices leading up to Wimbledon and was sad she needed to leave the event early, per the .</p>
<p>"I wasn't expecting not to feel good. I have been practicing pretty well the last few days. But I guess these things happen," Jabeur said afterward. "I'm pretty sad. Doesn't really help me with my confidence and what I keep pushing myself to do even though it was a very tough season for me. I hope I can feel better."</p>
<p>Jabeur's exit marks yet another disappointing development for the Tunisian, who has struggled with injuries since 2024. Jabeur was forced to retire from the 2024 U.S. Open due to a shoulder injury, and decided to cut her season short due to the issue.</p>
<p>She returned to action at the 2025 Australian Open, where she lost in the third round. Jabeur also battled a leg injury at the Miami Open in March.</p>
<p>Those injuries, and Jabeur's struggles since returning, have dropped her to No. 59 in the WTA rankings. That's quite the fall for Jabeur, who ranked No. 2 overall in 2022.</p>
