WTA 1000 Madrid: Ons Jabeur wins in 3 sets against Schmiedlova in 2nd round (video)

More diligent than her opponent, Ons Jabeur struggled this Thursday against the Slovak Karolina Schmiedlova (68th in the world), in three sets 6-4, 5-7 and 6-3 after a 2h27′ fight, in the second round of the Masters 1000 in Madrid.

Her slump at the beginning and end of the second set, following respiratory distress, could have cost her dearly, but Ons, generally superior to her Slovak opponent, did not crumple and reaccelerated in the 3rd set to triumph and very logically won at the end.

Absent from the Spanish court in the 2023 season due to her injury, and two years after her victorious debut against the Italian Jasmine Paolini in two sets (7-6, 6-1) during the WTA 1000 in Madrid, the 8th seed series has once again tasted success on Madrid clay and advances to the third round where she will meet the Canadian Leylah Fernandez (28th in the world), who beat the Russian Anastasia Potapova (n°39 WTA), in two sets 7-5, 6-3.
