Canada's Bianca Andreescu was ousted from Wimbledon women's singles play on Saturday in a third-round, 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.
The 28-year-old Tunisian broke Andreescu again to lead 5-4 and serve for the match.
Jabeur will face ninth-seeded Czech Petra Kvitova in the fourth round.
Reaching Wimbledon's third round marked the 23-year-old Andreescu's best showing at the All-England Club since her debut in 2017.
The 2019 U.S. Open women's champion was the lone Canadian playing singles Saturday.
