Ons Jabeur made his return to competition on Monday, advancing past Saisai Zheng (7-6, 6-4) in the 1st round of the WTA 500 in Brisbane.

The Tunisian had decided to put an end to her 2024 season in September, due to shoulder discomfort which prevented her from playing at her best.

She needed almost two hours of play to get past Zheng, who was using her protected ranking.

The Chinese player served to win the first set (6-5) before being broken and losing the tie-break. In the second set, Jabeur came back from a break down to win 6-4.

After this first success, Jabeur, now ranked 42nd in the world, will face No.14 seed Ekaterina Alexandrova in the 2nd round.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
