After several weeks far from the courts, Ons Jabeur signs his return to competition this week, on the occasion of the prestigious WTA 1000 tournament in Madrid. An event that is particularly close to her heart, since she had triumphed in 2022.
Currently ranked 27th in the world, the Tunisian will benefit from a direct passage in the second round. She will face the winner of the qualifying match between the Japanese Moyuka Uchijima (56th) in the American Robin Montgomery (100th), a meeting scheduled for Wednesday.
Jabeur hadn’t walked the courts since his injury to the left leg contracted at the end of March during the Miami tournament. She had to abandon her match against the Italian Jasmine Paolini in the third round, then give up participating in the Stuttgart tournament to focus on her recovery.
The Madrid tournament, scheduled from April 22 to May 4, takes place on clay and constitutes a key stage of the season. An ideal setting for Jabeur to revive its season and find the peaks.
