Jabeur, who entered the second set breaking serve, then rallied to make it 3-1. Assessing Jabeur’s critical mistakes throughout the match, Vondrousova managed to come back from 3-1 this time. The Czech tennis player, who won the second set 6-4, won the match, which lasted one hour and 20 minutes, 2-0 and reached the championship. (AA)
