Ons Jabeur was serenaded by fans as she did her media duties at Wimbledon on Wednesday. Jabeur rallied from a set down – the first she surrendered in the tournament – to beat Marie Bouzkova, 3-6, 6-1, 6-1, and advance to the semifinals of a Grand Slam for the first time.Her victory gave the Arabs and North Africans their first tennis player, man or woman, to reach the last-four of a Major. Fans of the Tunisian gathered on the grounds below the balcony, offering a song to the World No. 2 and, incidentally, to Cameron Norrie, who, for his part, is giving British supporters their own reason to celebrate. Norrie also advanced to his maiden Major semis, becoming the fourth British man in the Open Era to do so at Wimbledon.Jacquie Beltrao@SkyJacquieThe @Ons_Jabeur Tunisian fans serenade Ons and inadvertently @cam_norrie as they do their media @Wimbledon - so so nice 41535The @Ons_Jabeur Tunisian fans serenade Ons and inadvertently @cam_norrie as they do their media @Wimbledon - so so nice 👌 🇹🇳🇬🇧 https://t.co/28UcB3kEB7Jacquie Beltrao of Sky News posted the video on Twitter, after which Jabeur reposted it with the caption of three Tunisian flags and two heart emojis.Ons Jabeur@Ons_Jabeur twitter.com/skyjacquie/sta…Jacquie Beltrao@SkyJacquieThe @Ons_Jabeur Tunisian fans serenade Ons and inadvertently @cam_norrie as they do their media @Wimbledon - so so nice 157281The @Ons_Jabeur Tunisian fans serenade Ons and inadvertently @cam_norrie as they do their media @Wimbledon - so so nice 👌 🇹🇳🇬🇧 https://t.co/28UcB3kEB7🇹🇳🇹🇳🇹🇳❤️❤️ twitter.com/skyjacquie/sta…The merriment spilled over on social media as fans encouraged their country's hero."The Arab fun and celebrations are coming to tennis.

Arazi hails from the North African country of Morocco."I was talking to Hicham Arazi & he told me, ‘Arabs always lose in the quarterfinals and we're sick of it. Please break this’. I was like, ‘I'll try, my friend, don't put this in my head,'" said Ons Jabeur in a tweet by journalist Reem Abulleil.“We (Hicham Arazi and I) were just texting, and he was really happy. He was, like, ‘Thank you for finally making the semi-final. Now you can really go and get the title,'" Jabeur added.Jabeur will next face mum-of-two Tatjana Maria, who is trying to write her own personal history as the 34-year-old German became the oldest first-time Grand Slam semifinalist in the Open Era in her 35th try.
