Britain’s young tennis star Emma Raducanu has congratulated
Tunisia’s Ons Jabeur on Ningbo Open title victory.
The 29-year-old won her fifth WTA title after beating Russia’s
Diana Shnaider in the final in straight sets with a score of 6-2, 6-1.
Raducanu, who is currently spending time on the sidelines as
she continues her recovery, congratulated Jabeur in a post on her official
account on social media platform X —previously known as Twitter.
The victory was a special one for Jabeur who had a rather
tough time in 2023. The Ksar Hellal-born started the year slowly as she was
knocked out of the Australian Open after losing in the second round to Czech Republic’s
Marketa Vondrousova with a score of 6-1, 5-7, 6-1.
In the French Open, she had a better outing, Jabeur had a better
outing as she managed to qualify for the quarterfinal but lost to Brazil’s Beatriz
Haddad Maia with a score of 3-6, 7-6, 6-1.
Wimbledon was yet another best outing for Jabeur but once
again, Jabeur fell short on the final hurdle as she lost to Vondrousova in the
final with a score of 6-4, 6-4.
It was Jabeur’s third defeat in the final of the Grand Slam
in the space of last two years.

- Where is it written that athletes, entertainers... People in general... are mandated to keep looking at -- or even using [anti]Social Media? Public & private figures consistently complain and reveal their concerns about negativity and violence thrown at them -- yet they insist on participating. Avoid it, don't use it, don't read it. It's okay to occasionally look up at the World instead beating your eyes & thumbs to death on The Inventions out there.mandoist11-10-2026
