"Looks like I will have to give Anett my dress for the opening ceremony of the WTA Finals" jokes Ons Jabeur about Kontaveit run
WTA
Anett Kontaveit is only two matches away from securing a spot at the WTA Finals for the first time and if she is able to win the event in Cluj-Napoca she will knock out Ons Jabeur.
It's been a sensational season for Ons Jabeur who not only won her maiden trophy this year but also made her way inside the top 10 for the first time. The Tunisian player is currently slated to appear at the WTA Finals as well which would be the first time an Arab woman was able to secure that honor. However, she is also not playing right now after sustaining an elbow injury in Moscow last week.
That opened up a chance for Anett Kontaveit to secure a place in the WTA Finals over Jabeur who is unable to win any more points. The Estonian player has been on an impressive run lately that included title runs in Moscow and Ostrava along with a great showing in Indian Wells. In order to knock out Jabeur from the spot in the WTA Finals, Kontaveit needs to win the Transylvania Open in Cluj-Napoca.

So far it's been going well for the Estonian who will contest the semifinal today against Peterson. The match will begin at 14:00 CET and if she wins that match she will be only one match away from the finals. Because of that Jabeur joked on her Twitter writing:
"Looks like I will have to give Anett my dress for the opening ceremony of the @WTAFinals… she’s too busy winning matches."
It remains to be seen whether Kontaveit is able to complete the task of knocking Jabeur out of the WTA Finals but the Tunisian is certainly anxiously waiting to see.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
