World number 9 Ons Jabeur made a place in the quarter-finals of the WTA 1000 tournament in Madrid on Monday April 29 by posting three consecutive victories for the first time in 2024. Before setting foot on the Spanish clay court, the Tunisian triple finalist in Grand Slam had not even been able to win two matches in a row since the start of the year. Four times in seven tournaments played, she had lost from the start. She dominated world number 10 Jelena Ostapenko 6-0, 6-4. In the two previous rounds, Jabeur defeated the Slovak Anna-Karolina Schmiedlova (68th) 6-4, 5-7, 6-3, then the Canadian Leylah Fernandez (35th) 7-5, 2-6, 6 -4. For a place in the last four, she will challenge either world number 3 Coco Gauff or American Madison Keys (20th).
