Ons Jabeur eases past Bernarda Pera to reach quarter-finals of French Open

Just as it seemed like Jabeur had rediscovered her form, disaster struck again. The Tunisian won her first title of the year on the green clay of Charleston but three games into her Stuttgart match against Swiatek, she was forced to retire with a calf injury. She arrived in Paris undercooked, mentally sharp but still managing both her injury and the frustration that has come with it.

“I have learned a lot how to accept things, either good or bad,” Jabeur said. “For me, being injured was part of my path, how the season would have started here this year. I worked a lot on my mental health and worked a lot on how to manage all this, because I believe a lot of injuries are connected to our emotional part. I’m trying to manage that.”

Ons Jabeur has put herself in contention deep in a grand slam tournament for the third time in her last four attempts following her victory on Sunday. Photograph: Julian Finney/Getty Images Jabeur has proven that her varied, well-rounded game works on every surface, but nothing suits it like clay. Her groundstrokes are potent enough to hit through slow conditions, she instinctively knows how to open up angles and has the delicate hands to suffocate opponents with drop shots. It is the only surface, she says, that she can thrive on without any prior matches. Given her physical issues, that is proving vital in Paris.

“These things take a lot of time,” she said. “I have to accept my current condition now because I was injured quite a lot of times this year. So this happens. I’m not going to be impatient. I will give time to my body to adapt. And right now I’m winning matches without being at 100 per cent, so I’m learning.”
