Ons Jabeur Wants 'World To Speak More' On 'Unfair' Gaza War

Ons Jabeur, the most high-profile Arab women's tennis star, demanded Friday the world "speak more" on the ongoing war in Gaza, calling the impact of the conflict "unfair". Jabeur, the only Arab woman to reach a Grand Slam final and a former world number two, says she has effectively stopped following the war on social media. "I'm pretty sad to see the news every day, and I honestly try not to be on social media because it's horrifying video what's happening in Gaza right now," said the 29-year-old Tunisian.

Leylah Fernandez beats Anna Kalinskaya 6-1, 6-2 to win the DC Open for her biggest title

WASHINGTON: Leylah Fernandez collected the biggest title of her career at the D.C. Open with her most lopsided victory of the tournament, defeating Anna Kalinskaya 6-1, 6-2 in the final on Sunday. The left-handed Fernandez, a 22-year-old from Canada who is ranked 36th, earned her fourth singles trophy — all have come at hard-court tournaments — and first at a WTA 500 event. She came quite close to a Grand Slam championship as a teenager at the 2021 US Open, making it all the way to the final in New York before losing to Emma Raducanu. There almost was a rematch in Washington, but Kalinskaya eliminated Raducanu in the semifinals Saturday. Until Sunday, the 48th-ranked Kalinskaya had not dropped a set all week. However, she wasn’t able to keep up with Fernandez, who saved the only break point she faced while taking four of Kalinskaya’s service games in a match that lasted 1 hour, 10 minutes. One key: Fernandez claimed 10 of the 12 points in the match when Kalinskaya hit a second serve.
