Ons Jabeur has suffered an injury scare with the French Open a little over a month away after being forced to pull out of this week's Madrid Masters.
The Tunisian was left in tears after retiring from her semi-final match against world 1 Iga Swiatek in the Stuttgart Open on Saturday due to a calf problem. “I’m sorry guys, I really tried.
But in the third point, I don’t know what happened,” an emotional Jabeur told the crowd in Germany after limping out 3-0 down in the opening set.
And the world No 4 revealed on Tuesday that the problem means she could no longer defend the Madrid crown she won last year when she beat American Jessica Pegula in the final to become the first Arab or African winner of a WTA 1000 title.
