Elina Svitolina defeated Ons Jabeur 6–1, 7–6 in the second round of Wimbledon on grass on 6 July 2024, upsetting the pre-match favourite Jabeur, who carried odds of 1.51 to Svitolina's 2.75. The Ukrainian dominated the opening set, breaking serve decisively to establish control, before Jabeur mounted a second-set recovery that forced a tiebreak. Svitolina held her nerve in the decider to secure passage into the third round. The result represents a significant scalp for the Ukrainian on the grass courts and suggests improving form as she progresses deeper into the tournament.
