Ons Jabeur vs Tamara Korpatsch: Ningbo Open 2023 Preview, Schedule, Date, Form Guide, Head to Head, Live Streaming

Ons Jabeur’s expectations of an easy first-round match against world No. 98 Diane Parry were clearly misplaced. Instead, Jabeur found herself having to fight hard, needing to hold her serve twice to stay in the first set and saving five breakpoints at a crucial 5-5 juncture in the second set. Despite these challenges, she eventually managed to overcome the French opponent with a 7-6, 7-5 victory, in a match that lasted nearly two and a half hours. This year has proven to be a difficult one for the Tunisian player, marked by a knee injury that sidelined her for the entire month of February. She also suffered a tough loss in a Wimbledon final. Adding to her frustrations, Jabeur recently experienced surprising defeats at the hands of Anastasia Potapova in San Diego and Martina Trevisan in Guadalajara.

Tamara Korpatsch, a newcomer to Asian tennis this month, has clinched her inaugural victory on the continent. She faced a tough challenge from Jodie Burrage, who twice had the opportunity to force a deciding set. However, it was Korpatsch who ultimately prevailed with a 6-2, 7-6 win. At 28 years old, Korpatsch is considered a late bloomer in the tennis world, only breaking into the top 100 in September of the previous year. Her career has seen her reach six WTA quarterfinals, with the first five occurring on clay courts between 2017 and 2021. Notably, she achieved her most recent quarterfinal appearance on the hard courts of Prague just a few weeks ago, where she advanced to the semifinals as a qualifier.
