Tunisia’s Ons Jabeur Starts Berlin Open With Victory
Tunisian tennis star Ons Jabeur started her grass-court season with a win, needing just 73 minutes to beat Czech Republic’s Karolina Muchova 6-3, 6-3 in straight sets at the Berlin Open.
Playing for the first time since a shock first-round loss at the French Open, Jabeur put in an assured performance as she saved all four of the break points she faced against her Czech opponent. The Tunisian racked up four aces in the win.
The top-seeded Jabeur, who reached the quarterfinals at Wimbledon last year, will play US qualifier Alycia Parks in the next round.
