Ons Jabeur broke down in mid-play during her quarterfinal match against Beatriz Haddad Maia, reportedly with tears in her eyes. She was getting ready to take Haddad Maia’s serve when it happened in the second set.
Jabeur’s tears were devastating, even though it was unclear if she had a medical condition or something else entirely. She is currently one of the most upbeat tennis players on the women’s circuit, so it was disappointing to see her that way.
Fans became worried for Jabeur after seeing the video of her crying go viral on the internet. Although the true cause of this circumstance is still unknown, supporters will be hoping she doesn’t have to cry anymore.

Not sure if she’s dealing with something physical or if it’s something else.
Never want to see this.
Hopefully Ons is alright. 🙏❤️ pic.twitter.com/xQKNkg8bs0
