PARIS (Reuters) - World number seven Ons Jabeur did not dwell on Wednesday's French Open quarter-final loss to Brazil's Beatriz Haddad Maia, setting her sights on her next goal - winning Wimbledon.

Runner-up in London last year, Jabeur was beaten 3-6 7-6(5) 6-1 by Haddad Maia 3-6 7-6(5) 6-1 to end her hopes of becoming the first African woman to win a Grand Slam singles title.
