Break of racquet from Jabeur
(VIDEO) Ons JABEUR smashes her racquet and loses her cool during latest defeat against Danielle COLLINS at Charleston Open
WTAFriday, 05 April 2024 at 15:49
Danielle Collins took down Ons Jabeur in another win for the American and another loss for the Tunisian second seed who showed her frustration after being broken in the final set.
After losing the opening set, Jabeur thrashed Collins in the second 6-1, but soon was 2-0 down in the final set. Not one for usually losing her cool, she smashed her racquet against the floor in venomous fashion.
As Collins won the point, Jabeur thundered her racquet against the crown crushing it to pieces. It got worse for Jabeur who went on to lose the final set and went out again. It adds to multiple recent defeats against Mirra Andreeva, Elina Avanesyan among others in recent months. Barely winning a game amid a knee injury, Jabeur has a lot of points to defend during the clay court season so this isn't the perfect start.

- My money is simply on fatigue. She's not the compact 'muscle-man'-type like perhaps Sabalenka, Swiatek or Sakkari. She's a player desperately longing for some kind of Djokovic rhythm. She should skip lots to win more majors. And the rumour I thought wasn't it Long Covid?MrAndreeva10-05-2024
- If there is some other reason, like exhaustion or self-preservation by not playing in consecutive tourneys, then simply say so. There's no shame in self preservation. Since the WTA obviously does not seriously consider a player's physical and mental stress as they schedule back-to-back majors, it's okay to adhere to such a healthy agenda and admit it. The illness thing is kind of suspect at this point; if only because of the timing pattern.
mandoist10-05-2024 - So, Elena Rybakina has again withdrawn due to illness (in Rome). Fans are concerned if this is truly a gastrointestinal issue. Why the secrecy? Is it truly an illness causing these withdrawals? It may be helpful -- even encouraging -- for others whom also suffer whatever illness is ongoing here to know what she is dealing with; and how. A form of Colitis? Ulcers? What's up? Timing has been last minute. It's a bummer all around.mandoist10-05-2024
- Tennis is ridiculous to maintain the tradition of silence. If they can play in open courts like Rome with all the noise from each court they surely could survive cheering, etc., during play (i.e., a singles match with only a 2 meter fence between them and a men's doubles -- and very loud noise from each side).mandoist10-05-2024
