Despite her strong entry in the first group, Jaber did not have the ability to deal with the balls of her opponent, who won the first set mainly thanks to the power of the serve, but also after benefiting from the direct mistakes made by the Tunisian star, so Jaber lost a lot of easy balls.
Despite passing into the decisive game, the lack of focus prevented Jaber from deciding the set that she lost 7-6, as the Russian showed her strength of character in the crucial times of the game.
Jaber faced difficulties at the start of the second set, after losing her serve to give her opponent a 2-0 lead, as she lacked focus in the face of a player who seemed ready to rise to the challenge.
The difficulties continued in the third round, which marked a significant decline in Jaber’s level, which seemed to collapse as if it had surrendered to the will of the fair number 19 to lose the game almost without resistance. Although Jaber won the fourth game, she was unable to break her opponent’s serve to find herself late by 4-1, and Jaber’s difficulties in serving also renewed after she failed to capitalize on her opponent’s mistakes and lost the sixth game in the second set, and despite breaking the serve, Jaber lost the set 6-2 and the match 2 0.
