‘I’m learning’: Ons Jabeur reaches French Open last eight for first time

theguardian.com

O ns Jabeur entered the French Open last year with her career on the rise. Having won the Madrid Open, her first WTA 1000 title, she immediately followed it with victory in Rome.

Jabeur began the second grand slam tournament of the year as second favourite but crashed out in the first round. One year on, the 28-year-old returned under completely different circumstances.

She has spent much of this season injured, with setbacks continually halting her attempts to re-establish top form. Still, the seventh seed continues to advance through the draw.

On Monday, Jabeur eased past Bernarda Pera 6-3, 6-1 to reach the quarter-finals at Roland Garros for the first time. By finally making a long-awaited extended run at the tournament where she first made her name by winning the 2010 junior title, Jabeur has now reached the quarter-finals of every grand slam.
