After her beautiful qualification in simple, the Tunisian Ons Jabeur continues this Tuesday at noon, with a new challenge in double ladies at the WTA 500 tournament in Berlin, disputed on lawn.
Jabeur will team up with the Spanish Paula Badosa, in an eighth finals against the solid pair formed by the American Desirae Krawczyk, double specialist and former finalist at Roland-Garros, and the Australian Storm Hunter, world number 4 in double.
Currently 61st in the WTA ranking, the Tunisian gradually returns to her best level after a season disturbed by injuries. Recovered like “Lucky Loser” in Berlin after her defeat in the last qualifying round, she knew how to seize her luck on Monday in simple by eliminating the American Caroline Dolehide (64th world) in two sets (7-6, 6-1).
She will find in the second round in simple, the Italian Jasmine Paolini, recent Weturium of the WTA 1000 in Rome and currently 4th in the world. A prestige match for jabeur, which aims for a rise in power before Wimbledon.
This is not the first time that Jabeur and Paula Badosa have shared the same side of the net. Friends close to the circuit, they have already shown in the past a great complicity on the court. This association, although punctual, could bring a positive dynamic to their respective courses in simple.
