The Riyadh Season Tennis Cup, the founding event of Saudi Arabia’s landing in tennis as a top-level actor, has experienced its first act with the confrontation of the Tunisian Ons Jabeur and the Russian Aryna Sabalenka on the first day of this exhibition. On Wednesday Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic will star in the second act.
The victory corresponded to Sabalenka by 4-6, 6-3 and 6-2. The duel has been competitive because, although it is an exhibition, there are pending sports issues between both players. For example, this same season the triumph of the African tennis player over the Russian in the Wimbledon semifinals deprived Sabalenka of reaching world number 1.
Jabeur and Sabalenka are the latest winners of the Mutua Madrid Open. The first she won in 2022 and the second in 2021 and 2023. Last season Sabalenka won her first Grand Slam title at the Australian Open. Jabeur reached the Wimbledon final.
