Ons Jabeur knee injury…
the Tunisian World No6 is unable to compete due to an ongoing right knee injury.
Spanish player Cristina Bucsa will take her place.
Jabeur has reportedly been struggling with fitness issues and knee complaints since the start of the calendar year and has stated that “it’s been unbearable” to play with the injury, seen in tears last week at her opening match in Doha against Ukraine’s Lesia Tsurenko.
Not being able to give my best on the court is frustrating, the athlete said in an official statement regarding the matter.
After consultation of my doctors and team we have decided that I will have to withdraw from Dubai this week and go for more medical treatments.
Looking forward to reconnect with all on the courts for the US swing.
