Jabeur Withdraws From DC With Shoulder Injury

Ons Jabeur withdrew from the DC ATP/WTA 500 event due to a shoulder injury before her first singles match.

Fan favorite Ons Jabeur withdrew from her opening round singles match at the Mubadala Citi DC Open due to a shoulder injury.

The 29-year-old Jabeur was set to face local favorite Robin Montgomery in her opening round singles match on Thursday night. Yet, Jabuer withdrew hours before the match due to a shoulder injury. Jabeur released a statement that was later posted on the tournamentā€™s social media.

Jabeur defeated Montgomery 6-1, 7-5 last month in the second round of Wimbledon. A two-time Wimbledon finalist, Jabeur lost in the next round to Ukraineā€™s Elina Svitolina.

Jabeur, earlier in the week at the event, did win a doubles match with Spainā€™s Paula Badosa.

It has been a difficult season for the 29-year-old Tunisian. She has also dealt with a knee injury, and carries a 16-13 overall record. She is currently ranked 16, her lowest ranking since the summer of 2021.

The next tournament on Jabeurā€™s schedule is the upcoming WTA 1000 National Bank Open in Toronto, Canada.
