“I'm going to take every match slowly. I came back from an injury, so I want to be realistic with myself. My main goal is to be healthy and win matches. Every match I win is a bonus. The season is still long. I don't want to put unnecessary pressure on myself. I don't want to be disappointed after. For now it's working well for me. Hopefully I can continue like that.

Jabeur was happy to keep it short as she understand that the battle agains Halep will be hard:

"I'm really happy with the way I played. I wasn't expecting that at all, especially after yesterday's match. I'm glad that I kept it short, not a three-setter. This gives me a lot of confidence for next match, for sure.”
