Ons Jabeur failed to cross the first round of the Dubai WTA 1000 tournament.
Opposed to the American Peyton Stearns, the Tunisian, ranked 32nd in the world, lost in two tight sleeves (7-6, 6-4) after a fight of about two hours.
Decreased by discomfort in the thigh, ons Jabeur failed to reverse the trend against the 46th world player, thus leaving the competition prematurely.
