The Tunisian Ons Jabeur, current 36th in the WTA ranking, will indeed be at the rendezvous of the prestigious WTA 1000 tournament in Rome, which will take place from May 6 to 18 on the clay of Foro Italico.

This return to Rome takes on a special flavor for the Tunisian player.

She then bowed to the world number 1, the Polish Iga świątek, in a one-way match (6-2, 6-2), but had confirmed her growing status on the female circuit.
After a first part of the season marked by injuries and in the Dtew of saw, Jabeur hopes to revive his dynamics in Rome, a tournament where she has already proven that she could compete with the best.
A few days before Roland-Garros, this participation will also be an opportunity for the Tunisian to refine her automation on clay and gain confidence.
