Ons Jabeur Madrid Open 2021
The ascension to stardom by Ons Jabeur is continuing and the Tunisian is through to the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells.
To do so, she had to defeat a good friend of hers Anett Kontaveit and it was a very tough match decided by only a few points. The Estonian has been on a tear winning over 10 matches in a row but Jabeur was able to neutralize some of her strenghts. It's mainly due to the familiarty of both players with each other and on that Jabeur said:
"Honestly a great match, great fight. Always tough to play against Anett. I tried to play my game little bit, but she knows me so well. It was kind of tough to kind of execute those drop shots. I'm pretty glad that I stayed calm when I needed to be. It was very stressful at the end. But I'm glad that I got the win and looking forward to play. Why not get the title here?"
With the win, Jabeur also secured a top 10 debut on Monday and asked about that she said:
"Top 10 I know is the beginning. I know I deserve this place from a long time since I was playing well. But I want to prove that I deserve to be here, I deserve to be one of the Top 10 players. There is a lot of things that I need to improve. I'm very happy, a lot of emotions right now, but I'm still in competition so I'm trying to calm down and not overthink about Top 10. Probably will celebrate after the tournament. I just believed in myself, I worked hard, and this is just the beginning of great things."
