Ons Jabeur, the two-time Wimbledon runner-up, had a brief tournament, retiring after just one hour and 25 minutes during her first-round match against Viktoriya Tomova. Jabeur lost the opening set in a tiebreak and was trailing 2-0 in the second before withdrawing, citing difficulty with breathing amid hot conditions on Court 14, according to channelnewsasia and Reuters.

Jabeur, who has struggled with asthma, experienced complications during the match that necessitated a medical timeout. The current season has been particularly tough, with previous injuries impacting her performance. "I wasn't expecting not to feel good... I'm pretty sad. It doesn't really help with my confidence," she remarked, reflecting on her challenges this year. The court temperature reached 34 degrees Celsius, prompting Wimbledon to implement its warm weather policy, according to Africanews and Reuters.

Jabeur's recent form had already seen her slip outside the world's top 50 rankings, adding to the pressure she faced coming into this match. It has been a particularly difficult year as she also dealt with leg issues, with her season impacted by a shoulder injury. Following her retirement, her future performances remain uncertain, according to Africanews and channelnewsasia.
