After having signed his return to competition with a good victory, yesterday in double at the WTA 500 tournament in Brisbane, Ons Jabeur, 42nd world, will be back in simple by facing the Chinese Seized Zheng (695th WTA) on behalf of the 1st round.
The Tunisian tenniswoman Ons Jabeur, 42nd in the WTA ranking, who had not played an official match since Toronto last August, started the new season yesterday with the Brisbane tournament in Australia.
Alongside the Spanish Paula Badosa, Ons Jabeur triumphed against the pair made up of Chinese Guo Hanyu and the Russian Alexandra Panova. The duo won the match after a superb very disputed tie-break (6-4, 5-7, 10-8), a victory that demonstrates the found form of the Tunisian after its convalescence.
Today, she faces the Chinese seized Zheng (695th WTA) on behalf of the 1st round. The two tenniswomen clashed once in the past, in 2017 on behalf of the semi-finals of the Zhuhai tournament. Ons Jabeur had been eliminated during this opposition.
Today’s match will take place on the court Patrick Rafter, and should start around 11 am, Tunis time, and will be broadcast for free via the Dazn application.
