Ons Jabeur has withdrawn from the 2024 Dubai Tennis Championships due to a knee injury and not having enough time to recover.
Jabeur was set to compete at the last tournament of the 2024 WTA Tour’s Middle East swing as the No. 5 seed. However, she withdrew before her main draw match due to an injury. She missed last year’s Dubai Tennis Championships as well due to physical issues.
In an Instagram Story on February 18, Ons Jabeur shared that she is not fully fit to compete at the WTA 1000 event and is suffering from a knee injury that is making it “unbearable” for her to play matches. After consultation with doctors and her team, the Tunisian decided to pull out of the competition.
She will now undergo medical treatment and hopes to return to the tour in the US swing.
“Dear Friends and Family. I wanted to share with you all that my knee, is not holding, it’s been unbearable to play with the pain and not being able to give my best on the court is frustrating. After consultation of my Doctors and Team we have decided that I will have to withdraw from The Dubai Duty Free Open this week and go for more medical treatments. Looking forward to reconnect with All on the court for the US swing. Thank you for tour continuous support,” Jabeur wrote.
