Ons Jabeur, currently ranked 28th in the world, was eliminated from the Madrid tournament on Friday, after a three -set defeat against Japanese Moyuka Uchijima (56th in the world). The final score was 6-4, 3-6, 4-6.
Jabeur, who had benefited from an exemption for the first round, found competition after a long absence. For her part, the Japanese Uchijima won during the first round against the American Robin Montgomery (100th in the world), with a score of 2-1 (1-6, 6-4, 6-3).
It should be recalled that the Tunisian player had not returned to the courts since her participation last March in the Miami tournament (WTA 1000), where she had been forced to abandon her match against Jasmine Paolini due to a left leg injury. This injury forced jabeur to leave the competition in the third round.
