The Tunisian Ons Jabeur, first seed, claimed victory in the tournament in the Chinese city of Ningboin the 250 category and played on hard court, after defeating Russian Diana Shnaider, world number 85, 6-2 and 6-1 in the final.
His ability to win points on the first serve was one of the keys in a match that began to swing in his favor as he took advantage of the second break ball at his disposal in the third game to take the lead. Consolidating his advantage and avoiding two break points against him in the sixth, he ended up taking the set 6-2.
In the second, the same script was repeated as the African player broke his rival’s serve in the third and fifth games and avoided a new break ball in the sixth, the third of three his rival had in the match overall. He finally made his second match point in the seventh to close it out at 6-1.
In this way Jabeur, number 7 in the world, achieved his fifth trophy as a professional and the second so far in 2023 after capturing Charleston the previous April. Added to all this was this year’s final at the Wimbledon Grand Slam, where she lost to the Czech Marketa Vondrousova.
