Jabeur lost to Magda Linette from Poland 6:3, 6:7 (4:7), 5.7.
The 27-year-old was highly traded at the Stade Roland-Garros. Among other things, she convinced in preparation for the French Open by winning the tournament in Madrid.
However, Linette proved to be a great fighter. The number 52 in the world rankings was not impressed by the set deficit and knocked down the favorite after two more tight sets.
