Top seed Ons Jabeur crashed out of the San Diego Open after suffering a straight sets defeat at the hands of Anastasia Potapova. The world number 27 beat Jabeur 6-4 7-6(4).
Speaking after the match, Potapova called Jabeur a very tough opponent, adding that she’s really proud of her performance. The match, which was Jabeur's first since her exit in the fourth round of the US Open last week, saw her break six times as she chalked up yet another loss.
“Obviously, I’m very happy because she’s a very tough opponent. She’s one of the best in the world, there’s no doubt about this. She’s really tough to play because her game style is very tough, especially for me, who likes to play with the hitters. She likes to mix it up a lot, and actually I’m really proud of myself today that I was able to stay calm,” said Paotapova.
