US Open 2023: Jabeur wins, Sabalenka through, Garcia out

Posted : 30 August 2023
Ons Jabeur, the Wimbledon runner-up and Tunisian fifth seed, battled through adversity to secure her spot in the second round of the US Open. Despite grappling with breathing difficulties and the flu, Jabeur demonstrated her resilience and determination in a hard-fought victory over Colombia's Camila Osorio, prevailing with a 7-5, 7-6 (7-4) score on Louis Armstrong Stadium.
 
The 29-year-old faced a challenging day as she received medical attention during the match and even had her blood pressure monitored during a timeout. She revealed that dealing with asthma added another layer of difficulty to the already tough situation.
 
Aryna Sabalenka, the second seed, confronted a shaky start in her opening match against Belgium's Maryna Zanevska. Overcoming a string of five double faults and two early service breaks, Sabalenka managed to find her rhythm and recover, ultimately securing victory. She acknowledged her rocky start with a touch of humor, thanking the crowd for their patience in supporting her through the challenging moments.
 
In contrast, two-time champion Venus Williams, who was given a wildcard entry at the age of 43, faced a disappointing loss against Belgium's Greet Minnen. Williams' remarkable singles appearance record in the Open era extended to 24, but the match ended with a 6-1, 6-1 defeat for the veteran player.
 
French seventh seed Caroline Garcia also faced an early exit from the tournament, losing 6-4, 6-1 to China's world number 114, Wang Yafan. Garcia's previous success at Flushing Meadows was not replicated this year, as she was defeated in the first round on court five.
 
Despite the challenges faced by these players, their dedication to competing at the highest level and their ability to push through difficulties showcased the spirit of determination that characterizes professional tennis.
