Ons Jabeur and Sania Mirza
Indian tennis star Sania Mirza has made a name for herself by delivering memorable performances in women’s and mixed doubles. The multiple Grand Slam champion was expected to deliver a memorable performance at the Olympics, however, she was unexpectedly defeated by the Ukrainian duo of Lyudmyla Kichenok and Nadiia Kichenok.
The champion player was also seen in action in Wimbledon 2021 where she paired up with Mattek-sands in the Women’s doubles but was knocked in the second round. She also featured in the mixed doubles alongside Rohan Bopanna but was defeated in the round of 16s. The Indian star would now be seen in the Cincinnati Open 2021.
Ons Jabeur excited to play alongside Sania Mirza
At the Cincinnati Open, Sania will be seen pairing up with Ons Jabeur. The Tunisian tennis star recently claimed that she is thrilled to team up with Sania Mirza. Ons took to twitter and posted a picture with Mirza with the caption, “excited to team up with this one.”
Ons and Sania will take on Veronika Kudermetova and Elena Rybakina in their first-round clash at the Cincinnati Open. Apart from that, Ons will also compete in the singles event where she will play her first round against Estonian tennis player Anett Kontaveit.
Ons will come into the Cincinnati Open after suffering a moral-shattering defeat against unseeded Jessica Pegula in the Canadian Open.
