Tunisia when she lost 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 to American Claire Liu in Monastir on Friday. Top seed Jabeur went into the quarter-finals in irrepressible form having dropped just nine games in her previous two matches against the American Ann Li then the Russian Evgeniya Rodina.

The ATP Chennai Open was a marquee event that moved out of the city in 2017, and now the ball is in the women’s court to make it a memorable comeback. For starters, it will be wild card Eugenie Bouchard in action. The Canadian beauty, a former Wimbledon finalist, was once tipped to be Maria Sharapova’s successor.
Garcia, ranked No 17 in the world, had to pull out of the event due to scheduling challenges. The Frenchwoman, who would have been the top seed in the competition, had made it to the semifinals of the ongoing US Open and lost to Tunisia’s Ons Jabeur on Thursday evening. Mertens, who would have been the second seed in the competition, had lost in the first round of the women's singles event at the US Open last week and pulled out of her subsequent doubles first round match due to injury.
