Ons Jabeur has Fernando Verdasco in her box at least once for the WTA Tour 1000 tournament in Madrid. An interesting combination.

Ons Jabeur had to fight hard at the start in Madrid
Madrid is not a bad location for Us Jabeur, the Tunisian won the title here in 2022. If the series goes by the law, it should be back this year. Because Aryna Sabalenka was successful in 2021 and the previous year. “I enjoy playing here,” said Jabeur after her difficult opening win against Anna Karolina Schmiedlova. “Especially when I find my rhythm because I feel that the little altitude really helps me.”
This rhythm is already being tested today against Leila Fernandez. And Fernando Verdasco can be expected again in the Uns Jabeur box. Of course he knows how to play successfully on clay. Which is also a reason why Jabeur brought him into the team. “I try to get that Spanish mentality on clay, obviously that helps.”
Apparently there is also a good personal connection with Verdasco. “We are good friends and he has just had his third baby. So we have the energy of a new baby! It’s nice that he’s there. Ch has always been a fan of him as a player but also as a person because he has such incredible energy. He’s helping me this week, hopefully we can play several more matches together.”
