"I'm going for my revenge. I didn't win against her this year. She has good hands. She plays very good," she said in her post-match interview.

"Honestly, I will try to focus on myself a lot. I'm not sure how she's going to play second Grand Slam final, I believe. We both hungry to win. Whoever deserve it more will win," she added.

The 28-year-old also expressed her desire to learn and grow from her previous defeats in last year's Wimbledon and US Open finals.

"For me, I'm going to learn a lot from not only Wimbledon's final but also US Open final and give it my best. Maybe this year was all about trying two times and getting it right the third time. So let's see," she said.

Ons Jabeur and Marketa Vondrousova are tied at 3-3 in their head-to-head record heading into the final on Saturday, July 15.
