Zombie’ Jabeur refuses to let illness defeat her at US Open
On September 1, something happened.
Tunisia’s Ons Jabeur said she feels very sick but she is determined to keep playing at the US Open. She won her match against Czech teenager Linda Noskova on Thursday.
The woman who is 29 years old had trouble breathing during her tough win against Camila Osorio from Colombia. As a result, she was not feeling her best in her next match against Noskova, but she managed to get through it after playing for a little over two hours.
Jabeur said she feels like a zombie because she has the flu. She took a break in July after losing in the Wimbledon final to stay energized for the rest of the season.
Jabeur mentioned that she had been having a hard time for around a week with her illness and was taking a lot of medicine.
She said, “I’m trying my best with my team to get better. ” The doctors at this place are really wonderful, and they have been providing me with assistance and support. I took every medicine they have.
I’m happy that there were two matches and two tests. I wanted to challenge myself and see what I was capable of by doing something outside of my usual routine. I hope to be in better shape and feel better for the next game. Jabeur will play against Marie Bouzkova from Czech Republic in the next round and is determined to keep her winning streak.
“She said she might feel tired, but she knows she’ll regret it later if she gives up, so she wants to keep going and stay in New York for as long as possible. ”
Several players at the last major tennis tournament of the year have become sick, including Dominic Thiem, Chris Eubanks, and Hubert Hurkacz.
Reuters has contacted US Open officials to inquire about the illnesses and the officials responded saying that they are investigating the matter.
ESPN stated that John McEnroe was not able to do his job as an analyst at the US Open because he tested positive for COVID. Please rewrite the text you would like me to simplify.
