The pair ons Jabeur (3rd in the world) and Serena Williams (276th) qualified, today in the semi-final of the Eastbourne double tournament in England.
Opposed to the Japanese Shuko Aoyama and the Taiwanaise Hao-Christ Chan, Ons Jabeur and Serena Williams were expeditious in a match which they dominated from start to finish to win in two sets (6-2, 6-4)
In Eastbourne, Ons Jabeur, the most prominent tenniswoman, on the circuit was associated with Serena Williams, living legend of world female tennis who had not played for more than a year.
Recall that let’s Jabeur decided to withdraw from the Eastbourne tournament in simple. A withdrawal justified by an intense week spent in Berlin, where she won the WTA 500 tournament last Sunday and in order to be in the best conditions in Wimbledon.
However, she chose to play double after being chosen as a partner by Serena Williams, who is preparing her return to Wimbledon after being absent from the last three Grands Slam.
She obtained a Wild-Card to participate in the double women of this WTA 500 tournament organized in southern England.
Yesterday, the #Serena pair won 2-6, 6-3 and 13-11 in front of the pair made up of the Spanish Sara Sorribes Tormo (42nd WTA) and the Czech Marie Bouzková (64th in the world).
