Of course, I believed that maybe one day I could win it. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was tough because I had injuries, I didn\u2019t have good preparation, and it was not the moment when I\u2019m just going up with my results. So, of course, I came a bit more relaxed since I knew that I didn\u2019t have good preparation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaybe this is something that also helps me to get through all these matches. I can say that this is really the first time when I enjoyed every day of playing and just being on the tournaments.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jabeur stands between Rybakina and a remarkable first Grand Slam success and the 23-year-old knows what to expect from the third seed.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course I\u2019m going to be nervous,\u201d she said. \u201cEverybody is probably nervous when they are going to play on Centre Court and if it\u2019s a final.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut it\u2019s a challenge for me to be stable, to be strong mentally, and try to do my best.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know how Ons plays. She knows how I play. We know each other well. We see how it\u2019s going to go. But \u2026 I\u2019m going to try to do my best.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> (Reporting by Toby Davis; Editing by Ken Ferris)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/tennis-rybakina-surprises-herself-by\/wimbledon-18\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI660ZA-VIEWIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI660ZA-VIEWIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/tennis-rybakina-surprises-herself-by-2\/wimbledon-19\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI660ZC-VIEWIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI660ZC-VIEWIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/tennis-rybakina-surprises-herself-by\/wimbledon-20\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI660ZD-VIEWIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI660ZD-VIEWIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/tennis-rybakina-surprises-herself-by-2\/wimbledon-21\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI660ZF-VIEWIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI660ZF-VIEWIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Toby Davis LONDON (Reuters) \u2013 Kazakh Elena Rybakina said she was not expecting to reach the second week at Wimbledon let alone the final after booking her place in<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":287,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1543502","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1543502","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/287"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1543502"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1543502\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1543502"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1543502"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1543502"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
