The Abu Dhabi tournament left us with an offensive image this Friday. Ons Jabeur broke down in tears during her quarterfinal match against Brazilian Beatriz Haddad Maiawho lost 6-3 and 6-4 in an hour and a half.
Both the public and the spectators who watched the game on television were shocked.eager to know the reasons why the Tunisian reacted in this way, a mystery that he himself solved in recent hours.
The reason is the knee injury that hasn’t stopped bothering him for so long now. “We continued to drag almost to the knees. Some contests are good, some are bad. I’ve been feeling this for the past week but today was the worst day. Usually during training I try to control it, but during matches it’s a bit more difficult” declared the Wimbledon finalist.
“I’m a bit sad because I’m starting to feel the game and I’m feeling good, and these injuries don’t help. The priority now is to find a solution to try to keep the speed up and hopefully I can do it” he continued.
“I love how the people here cheer me on. I always feel sad when I lose because I want to win in front of them, I want to win for the kids, but that’s tennis. I try to do my best” he concluded.
His tears at the 2022 and 2023 Wimbledon finals went around the world. His good vibes are destroyed in the locker room, where he is known for his human quality and ability to create a good atmosphere, when he does not fulfill his wishes on the court.
Grand Slam tournaments have abandoned him. With each edition, more pressure is applied. Her dream, she revealed, is to hopefully stop winning her second Wimbledon final, aiming to be a mother now with the serenity of a ‘great’ on her record.
If in 2022 he collided with the unexpected Kazakh Elena Rybakina, in 2023 he became the victim of the revival of the brilliant Czech Marketa Vondrousova.who took advantage of a break from injuries to dominate the All England Club.
At the 2023 US Open she lost to the Polish Iga Swiatek. It’s less traumatic when it comes to number one, the starting favorite.
