After her quarter-final in Abu Dhabi, Ons Jabeur was hoping for another result during her appearance at the WTA 1000 in Doha. Unfortunately, this Tuesday, February 13, Jabeur failed to reach her third success of the year on the clay of the centre court. The Tunisian was defeated in two sets 3-6 (video) and 2-6 (video), the WTA n°37, Lesia Viktorivna, in just 1h22′.
The world No. 6, who has been partaking in Doha since 2012 and completing her first 7 campaigns either in the first round or in the qualifying round, did not perform well against the Ukrainian and therefore conceded a 3rd defeat in 5 meetings in 2024.
For their head-to-head (1-1), Jabeur won his game on green clay in Charleston last year, 6-3, 6-3, to avenge a loss by the same score during the Dubai 2018 qualifiers Tsurenko thus documents her first victory against a top 10 player since the start of 2019, in which she had played 16 matches against a top 10 during this period before her match against Ons Jabeur.
