Ons Jabeur absente du Cincinnati Open, incertitude pour l’US Open

Ons Jabeur’s unlucky 2024 season continued with her recent injury that forced her to retire from the 2024 Cincinnati Open.

Health Struggles

Throughout her career, Ons Jabeur has faced several health issues, impacting her performance on the court. Despite her dedication to training, injuries have often prevented her from reaching her peak physical condition.

The Tunisian player’s healthiest period was between 2021 and 2022, during which she played a significant number of matches and achieved remarkable results, including reaching Grand Slam finals.

Current Season Challenges

However, the current season has been challenging for Jabeur, with a noticeable decline in both her form and health. She has played fewer matches than in previous years, primarily due to ongoing injury concerns.

Shoulder Injury

Recent reports indicate that Jabeur is struggling with a shoulder-related problem, which was aggravated during a match against Naomi Osaka at the 2024 Canadian Open. This injury has raised doubts about her participation in the upcoming US Open.

Despite her initial plans to recover in time for the US Open, Jabeur’s recent statement on social media suggests that she may not be able to compete at the required level due to her current condition.

Challenges Ahead

The upcoming US Open poses a significant challenge for Jabeur, especially considering her past success at the event. The tournament’s switch to lighter tennis balls could potentially benefit her game and reduce stress on her injured shoulder.

With just two weeks left until the US Open, Jabeur faces a race against time to recover and participate in the final major of the season.
