Ons Jabert, a major loss to Coco Gauff at the 2023 Tournament of Champions

In an unprecedented match of the group stage, the third (Gauf) and sixth (Zhaber) favorites met. The dispute flowed in one direction, and the victory of the American took place in just 57 minutes with a score of 6-0, 6-1.

Ohns has been far from his best form, mainly his service issues with 40.9% of points won first and 33.3% second.

Then the player from Tunisia could not decide in the rematch (she missed all three break points), and at the end of the game she won only 28 of the 86 points played in the match.

At the age of 29, Ons was at the top of the WTA rankings at No. 2 (June 27, 2022), and in her career she played in three Grand Slam finals, all of which she lost: Roland Garros (2022, 2023) and the US Open (2022).
