World number seven Ons Jabeur withdrew from the Zhengzhou Open ahead of her quarterfinal against Daria Kasatkina, blaming a knee injury that hampered her during a hard-fought victory over Lucia Bronzetti on Thursday, Oct. 12.

SHANGHAI -- Playing with her right knee taped, the Tunisian three-time Grand Slam finalist failed to serve out the victory on three occasions and needed five match points to move past the 63rd-ranked Italian Bronzetti 6-3, 7-6 in just under two hours.

"I'm so sorry that I have to withdraw because my knee is not feeling so great. I just want to say that I love my time here in Zhengzhou and I hopefully I can come back next year," said the fourth seed. The fourth seed earned a double-break lead in the second set and looked on track for a smooth victory when she served for the match at 5-2.

Jabeur stopped the bleeding as she used her signature drop shot to maximum effect to break Bronzetti and put herself in position to serve for the win for a third time.
