Wimbledon: Ons Jabeur on playing her friend Tatjana Maria in semi-finals

It's amazing to reach my first Grand Slam semi and to play my friend in the Wimbledon semifinals makes it even better.

We are barbecue buddies and have known each other for many years. She is a nice person on the tour.

Being able to do that as a mother of two is even better than what she has achieved as a tennis player. She has done a great job.

I could see myself having a baby one day, but not yet. I don't have time to stop because I am doing well.

I would love to have a baby and play again, but I don't know if I'll do it or not.

I would love to have a family at some point in the future. I got married to my husband when I was young and we might have children when the time is right.

I will call Tatjana if I do.

She came back to play after two babies. It's easy to do it once, but it's even harder to do it twice.

There could be a big age gap by the time I have a family.

Asking Tatjana's daughter for tips to beat her mum

When we don't see each other at Wimbledon, I always hug her, congratulate her husband, and play with her two girls, even though we haven't seen each other in a long time.

Nothing will change before Thursday's game.

I will probably grab one of her girls and play with them the way I always do.

I asked Charlotte if she was going to cheer for me or for her mother. She said she would be cheering for them.

I agreed to take that.

I asked what the tactic was against your mother. She wasn't giving me any advice.

Charlie is a nice guy as well. When I was in Miami, he told me I could stay with him. They are the kind of friends I enjoy having.

We had a barbecue at their house in Palm Beach and had a swim there as well.

When she had Charlotte, I knew her by that name. I am a huge fan of that family. They are adorable.

I know her better because she is the oldest. I played with her at Indian Wells and it was fun.

She likes to play tennis and likes the players. She loves me as a player as well.

The younger one is happy and cute. Both kids have great energy and I like that about them.

Opponents for two hours - but friends for life

When we played the same tournaments and saw each other a lot, we became friends.

When I win, she will text me. I text her when she wins and I was happy when she won her second title.

One of the people on the tour that I love is her.

I told her I was happy for her after her quarter win over Jule.

I didn't say "I hope to play you" because I didn't want to make a prediction about what would happen.

I usually don't pay much attention to the draws at tournaments, but after the quarter-finals, I realized there was a chance I could play her in the semi-finals.

The match is going to be great.

She has an amazing slice and is going to fight until the end.

I will give it my all, it will be a difficult match.

We might not be friends for a while but at the end we will be friends again.
