Jul 8, 2023 | 12:53 PM

WIMBLEDON, United Kingdom — Canada’s Bianca Andreescu was eliminated in the third round of Wimbledon women’s singles Saturday in a three-set loss to Ons Jabeur of Tunisia.

Jabeur, last year’s Wimbledon finalist and this year’s sixth seed, downed Andreescu 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 to advance to the round of 16 at the grass-court tournament.

The unseeded Andreescu of Mississauga, Ont., broke Jabeur in the third set to lead 3-1. 

But Jabeur broke back to trail 3-2 before rain interrupted a match already delayed because of weather. 

When play resumed with the roof deployed over Centre Court, Jabeur held serve to draw even at 3-3.
