Heartbreak for Tunisian history-maker Ons Jabeur in Kremlin Cup final loss
Ons Jabeur of Tunisia in action against Daria Kasatkina of Russia.
Moscow - Arab Today
Daria Kasatkina won the Kremlin Cup on Saturday as Tunisian qualifier Ons Jabeur narrowly failed to become the first WTA winner from her country.
Jabeur was a set and a break up at 4-1 in the second before she seemed to tire in her eighth match in as many days, allowing Kasatkina to claim a 2-6, 7-6 (3), 6-4 victory with vocal support from the home crowd.
Sixth-seeded Kasatkina ended a run of three losses in finals, including last year’s Kremlin Cup, and now has a career 2-3 record. Her previous win was in Charleston in April 2017.
Jabeur was the first Tunisian to reach a women’s tour final and the first African finalist since South Africa’s Chanelle Scheepers in 2014.
Qualifiers have played four WTA finals this year and lost them all.
