Rybakina was in a great position at the beginning of the set to break Ons Jabeur in the 2nd game (2-0). Nonetheless, that was not enough for Ons to win the set since Rybakina succeeded in breaking back in the 8th (3-5) game.

Jabeur was clinical in converting the only break point that she conquered in the 4th game (3-1 40-A). On the other side, Elena was flawless in converting all her break points in the 1st (0-0 30-40), the 6th (1-4 30-40 and 40-A) and the 8th game (2-5 0-40).

They played 67 points. It’s worth to point out that, Jabeur won this set even if she scored less points 1 than Rybakina (33-34). Ons lost 14 points on serve (21-14). on the other side of the court, Rybakina conceded 12 points on serve (20-12).
