PARIS : Highlights of the first day at the French Open, the second Grand Slam of the year, on Sunday (times GMT):
PARIS: Tunisia’s Ons Jabeur suffered a shock French Open first round exit on Sunday but admitted: “Maybe it was good to lose.”The sixth-seeded Tunisian crashed out to Poland’s 56th-ranked Magda Linette 3-6, 7-6 (7/4), 7-5.The 27-year-old was seen as a potential champion in Paris, despite never having previously got past the fourth round.Jabeur came into the event with a season-leading 17 wins on clay in 2022 and with the prestigious Madrid title under her belt and a runners-up spot in Rome against world number one Iga Swiatek in Rome.However, she was undone Sunday by 47 unforced errors in the two hour 28-minute match.“Obviously I was expecting better but we say maybe something happens bad because there is something good happening in the future,” said Jabeur.“Hopefully the grass season, hopefully Wimbledon, I don’t know, but it’s definitely a great time to reflect and to see what’s going to happen next.”“So maybe it was a good thing to lose today. I would rather say this and be really tough with myself than waste all the good energy that I got from Madrid and Rome.”Jabeur said she was not happy to see that she was starting proceedings on Court Philippe Chatrier on the opening day of the tournament, the first French Open with full crowds since 2019 after a pandemic-affected two years.“Well, honestly, I wasn’t happy to play on a Sunday at 11,” she added.“I’ve got quite a peculiar relationship with this court, I like it and I don’t like it at the same time.”Linette had lost to Jabeur in the third round in 2021 having stunned an injury-hit top seed Ashleigh Barty in her previous match.“I just tried to stay focused after the first set and tried to make her uncomfortable.
