Jabeur seals third career WTA title, second of 2022 in unfortunate circumstances at bett1open Berlin as Bencic retires

No.1 seed Ons Jabeur has sealed a third career WTA title on Sunday after winning the bett1open Berlin albeit in unfortunate circumstances as Belinda Bencic had to retire due to injury.
Bencic who has been in terrific form as of late heading into the grass court season suffered an ankle injury in the final game of the opening set and although she continued for three more games, she retired at 6-3, 2-1 down.
Jabeur brought Bencic an ice bucket after retirement in terrific sportsmanship from the Tunisian towards her final opponent and friend off the court.
She becomes the only player other than World No.1, Iga Swiatek and Beatriz Haddad Maia to claim multiple titles on the WTA Tour this season and will now move up to World No.3 on Monday with likely odds shortening for her to be crowned Wimbledon champion given her current form.

- Not only did he Lose... he has shown yet again he is a Loser. If his behavior is a surprise to anyone, then you have a poor ability to assess a person's true being. Or do not wish to see it. A hint may have been when anti-Vax Boy contracted Covid, yet knowingly exposed kids & adults while taking selfies and promo photos with small crowds during at least two publicity functions. That's not the actions of someone who is at all concerned about others! No matter who it may be, famous or not, sooner or later their true identity shines through the façade.
