Ons Jabeur Ends 2024 Season Due to Shoulder Injury

Ons Jabeur Ends 2024 Season Due to Shoulder Injury

By September 16, 2024 0

Ons Jabeur, the Tunisian tennis star, has announced the premature end of her 2024 season due to a persistent shoulder injury. The three-time Grand Slam finalist made the difficult decision after consulting with her medical team.

Jabeur’s injury woes have plagued her in recent seasons. In addition to her current shoulder issue, a recurring right knee problem forced her to miss the WTA 1000 event in Dubai earlier this year. She also retired from her quarterfinal match against Coco Gauff at the grass-court event in Berlin in June.

Despite her struggles, Jabeur reached the quarterfinals at Roland Garros and in Madrid this year. However, her ranking has dropped out of the WTA’s Top 10, where she had been consistently ranked since October 2021.

While sidelined, Jabeur plans to dedicate herself to charity work, aiming to make a positive impact on the world. She has expressed her determination to return to the court stronger in 2025, starting with the Australian Open.

Jabeur’s absence from the tour will be a significant loss for the sport. Her aggressive style of play and infectious personality have made her a fan favorite. Her return to full fitness will be eagerly anticipated by tennis enthusiasts worldwide.

US Open 2023: Kyrgios, Osaka, and Jabeur Kick Off the Final Grand Slam

The US Open Fan Week has concluded, marking the official commencement of the year’s final Grand Slam tournament. New York City has once again transformed into a tennis hub, with the Park Lane Hotel serving as the gathering place for tennis stars Nick Kyrgios, Naomi Osaka, and Ons Jabeur.

Kyrgios, who lost to Novak Djokovic in the 2022 Wimbledon final, expressed his support for the Serbian legend. “I hope Novak wins it because it makes me look better since I lost my final to Novak,” he said. “The more he wins, the better I look in the future.”

Kyrgios also commented on Carlos Alcaraz, the four-time Grand Slam winner who suffered a minor slip in practice. “There’s so many things that need to happen to win a Grand Slam,” Kyrgios said. “I’ve never won a singles one, made a final, but the stars need to align so they need a lot of luck.”

Osaka, a two-time US Open champion, is determined to add another trophy to her collection. “It will take a lot to win the US Open, I’m trying to take it match by match,” she said. “I think my first match [against Jelena Ostapenko] is going to be very difficult but I’m being really confident in myself.”

First-round matches are already underway, with Osaka and Ostapenko scheduled to face off on Tuesday at Louis Armstrong Stadium. The tournament promises to be filled with thrilling matches and captivating storylines as the world’s top tennis players compete for the coveted US Open title.

Sofia Kenin Eyes Resurgence Against Struggling Ons Jabeur in Rome

Sofia Kenin Eyes Resurgence Against Struggling Ons Jabeur in Rome

By May 10, 2024 0

In the highly anticipated Round of 64 clash at the Internazionali BNL d’Italia, two struggling stars, Sofia Kenin and Ons Jabeur, will face off. Kenin, once a top-ranked player, has endured a two-year slump, while Jabeur, a three-time Grand Slam finalist, has also been grappling with inconsistent form.

Despite her recent struggles, Kenin has shown signs of improvement. In her previous match against Lucia Bronzetti, she displayed impressive dominance as a returner, breaking five times in two sets. Her baseline shots were powerful and accurate, and her movement along the baseline was fluid.

Kenin’s record against Jabeur is also noteworthy. She holds a 5-2 advantage in their head-to-head encounters. Additionally, Jabeur has been struggling with her precision in slice and drop shots, which have been key components of her success in the past.

Furthermore, Kenin’s experience on clay courts is an advantage. She reached the finals of Roland Garros in 2020, demonstrating her ability to handle the slow and bouncy conditions. These conditions allow her to play more balls and extend rallies.

On the other hand, Jabeur’s serve has been a concern in 2024. Her hold percentage is a mere 64.2%, which could give Kenin ample opportunities to break her serve.

Considering Kenin’s recent form, her favorable record against Jabeur, and the conditions that suit her style of play, it is reasonable to expect her to cover the 4.5-game spread.

Jabeur's Madrid Resurgence Fueled by New Friendships and Coaching Support

Jabeur’s Madrid Resurgence Fueled by New Friendships and Coaching Support

By April 28, 2024 0

Ons Jabeur’s resurgence at the Mutua Madrid Open is not just about her on-court performances. The Tunisian star has forged new connections and found support from unexpected sources, adding to her positive experience in the Spanish capital.

Jabeur’s friendship with Paula Badosa and Aryna Sabalenka has blossomed into a close bond. The trio, dubbed “soulmates” by Sabalenka, share a playful and supportive relationship. Jabeur jokingly described herself as the “psychologist” between the two fashion-conscious players.

“They’re both kids, you know. I’m here as a psychologist between them,” Jabeur said. “I love both, obviously. I think Aryna and Paula have the connection of the fashion: ‘I wore this, I wore that, I bought this new purse,’ and I go to the real thing. ‘What do you need? Let’s go have dinner.'”

Jabeur’s connection with former world No. 7 Fernando Verdasco has also been a positive development. The Spaniard has been working with Jabeur in Madrid, providing insights and support in the absence of her full-time coach.

“Fernando is such an amazing person. We are close. I’ve known him for a long time. It’s always nice to chat with him and have his vision about tennis; I’ve always been a fan of his as a tennis player and also a person,” Jabeur said.

Verdasco’s guidance has helped Jabeur improve her backhand and make better shot choices. “My backhand is much better. I’ve been trying to be a lefty for a while, so I think it’s working out,” Jabeur joked.

“It’s nice to get the insights of a professional tennis player and see how he thinks. I share sometimes my frustrations on court … ‘You think I should’ve done that, or this?’ It’s really amazing to see his insights.”

Jabeur’s positive mindset and newfound support system have contributed to her success in Madrid. She will face former Roland Garros winner Jelena Ostapenko in the quarterfinals, aiming to continue her impressive run and challenge for the title she won in 2022.

Ons Jabeur Finds Joy in Stuttgart, Breaks Losing Streak

By April 17, 2024 0

Ons Jabeur, Tunisia’s Minister of Happiness, has found solace in Stuttgart, Germany, where she is competing in the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix. The world No. 9 has been struggling with a knee injury and a five-match losing streak, but she broke the slump with a hard-fought victory over Ekaterina Alexandrova in her opening match.

Jabeur’s love for football was evident as she visited the home stadium of VfB Stuttgart, MHPArena, which is adjacent to the Porsche Arena. She witnessed Stuttgart’s 3-0 victory over Frankfurt and later received a tour of the grounds from goalkeeper Fabi Bredlow.

Despite being a Real Madrid fan, Jabeur displayed her football skills with Bredlow, showcasing her keepy-uppy abilities. The pair exchanged well wishes for their upcoming matches, with Stuttgart facing Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga and Jabeur continuing her campaign in the WTA 500 event.

Jabeur’s victory over Alexandrova was a testament to her resilience and determination. After losing the first set, she rallied back to win the next two, including a tiebreaker in the third set. She credited her Tunisian fans for their unwavering support, which has been a constant source of motivation for her.

“Tennis is such a tough sport and it’s been such a tough period for me, so even confidence-wise I’m trying to build it up,” Jabeur said. “Very grateful to be Tunisian, because wherever I go I find them!”

Jabeur will face Jasmine Paolini in the second round, who advanced with a dominant victory over Sara Errani. The Tunisian star will be looking to continue her momentum and build on her positive experience in Stuttgart.

Seventh-ranked Zheng Qinwen was outplayed by three-time Miami champion Victoria Azarenka, who posted a 6-4, 7-5 victory. Azarenka will now face Katie Boulter, who upset 11th-seeded Beatriz Haddad Maia.

Anna Kalinskaya, the Dubai finalist and Australian Open quarterfinalist, continued her impressive form by defeating world No. 10 Jelena Ostapenko 6-3, 6-1.

Elena Rybakina, last year’s runner-up, survived a tough challenge from Taylor Townsend, winning 6-3, 6-7 (3), 6-3. Rybakina will now face 17th seed Madison Keys.

The remaining Top 10 players, Iga Swiatek, Jessica Pegula, Coco Gauff, and Caroline Garcia, all advanced to the fourth round.
