DOHA: Tunisia’s World No.3 Ons Jabeur has withdrawn from Qatar TotalEnergies Open, a WTA 500 event, due to surgery.
Jabeur will also miss this week’s Abu Dhabi 500 tournament and won’t compete in next week’s week’s Dubai 1000.
“In order to take care of my health situation, my medical team have decided that I need to get a minor surgery in order to be able to be back on the courts and perform well,” Jabeur wrote on social media.
Jabeur has reached the quarterfinals in Doha twice (2020 and 2022) and in Dubai once (2022). “I will have to retire from Doha and Dubai and this is breaking my heart. I would like to say sorry to all the fans out there in the Middle East that waited for this reunion. I promise I will come back to you stronger and healthy,” she added.
