In a Centre Court encounter between Top 10 players, No.6 seed Ons Jabeur of Tunisia cruised past No.9 seed Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic 6-0, 6-3 in the Round of 16 at Wimbledon.

Jabeur, who reached her first Grand Slam final last year at Wimbledon, needed only 63 minutes to defeat Kvitova for only the second time in their six career meetings. Jabeur moves into the Wimbledon quarterfinals for the third straight year.

"Great, great match," Jabeur said, after her win. "I'm very happy with the performance. ... Hopefully I can keep going in this level.

"Winning also 6-0 against someone like Petra, you can expect to be beaten 6-0 the next set, so I tried to tell myself that the match is starting in the second set. Kept going. Tried to play point by point. Honestly, it was going very well for me."

Wimbledon final rematch confirmed: Jabeur will now aim for a measure of revenge in the quarterfinals, where she will take on No.3 seed Elena Rybakina of Kazakhstan.

Rybakina defeated Jabeur in last year’s Wimbledon final after Jabeur had won the opening set. They have split their four career meetings overall.

Setting records at SW19: Jabeur has posted history-making runs at Wimbledon in each of the past two seasons. In 2021, she became the first Arab player to reach a Wimbledon quarterfinal.

She went even deeper on the lawns of London last year, where she became the first Arab player to reach a final at any of the Grand Slam events, before being stopped by Rybakina.

Jabeur, who also reached last year’s US Open final, kept her goal to be the first Arab Grand Slam champion alive by stopping the eight-match grass-court winning streak of last week’s Berlin champion Kvitova.

"When I picked up the racquet, it's like I was born to play tennis and I was born to just achieve this dream," Jabeur said. "I was telling my mom, 'I want to win a Grand Slam, I want to be this, I want to be No.1.'

"I got to discover it at the young age, playing tournaments. I was a dreamer. I was born this way. I think no matter what you do, to me I'll always believe that I can do anything in this world."

By the numbers: It was a dominant display by Jabeur on Monday, who hit 17 winners, won 82 percent of her first-service points and converted six of her seven break points. Jabeur allowed Kvitova only two holds out of the Czech's eight service games.

Kvitova had said that her serve "didn't work that much" during her tricky third-round win, and her service stats were again below par against Jabeur, where she won only 46 percent of points behind her usually fearsome first-serve.

Moreover, Kvitova had 26 unforced errors and just four winners in the match. Kvitova, a two-time Wimbledon champion in 2011 and 2014, has still not reached the Wimbledon quarterfinals since she won her second title nine years ago.

Match breakdown: Easily chasing down drop shots and carving shots into the corners, Jabeur won the first set in only 22 minutes and rolled to a 4-1 lead in the second set as well.

In the following game, Kvitova got her first break of the day, and she edged closer to the Tunisian, pulling to 4-3. But Jabeur quickly regrouped with deft backhands, holding at love to put herself a game away from victory.

At 5-3, Jabeur hit a forehand winner into the corner off of a drop shot to reach 0-40 on Kvitova's serve and triple match point. Jabeur only needed one chance, wrapping up the win by forcing a wide error with a rally forehand.
