This Wednesday in Berlin Wednesday, Ons Jabeur achieved a convincing performance by dominating Jasmine Paolini in the round of 16 of the WTA 500. A net success in two sets which propels the Tunisian towards the quarterfinals.
At the Rot-Weiss Tennis Club, the Tunisian Ons Jabeur (world n ° 61), entering the main draw as “Lucky Loser”, confirmed her good shape by sweeping Jasmine Paolini (n ° 4) with scores of 6-1, 6-3. A clear and fast victory that testifies to the level of play found of jabeur on lawn.
According to WTA figures, Paolini won only 40.7% of the points (24/59), well below 58.3% (70/120) for Jabeur. The contrast was striking on the first balls: 61% success for jabeur against only 47% for the Italian.
This success is particularly significant for Jabeur, who sought to erase his failure against Paolini last May, in Rome, where she had lost in two sets. Today, it takes on a solid revenge, especially on its favorite surface, the lawn.
Qualified for the quarters, Jabeur continues his way in this WTA 500 tournament. His next opponent will be known according to the other current meetings. With this performance, she confirms her return in force in the global hierarchy.
