–
We were going to what kind of good health No. 4 seed Ons Jabeur was in, for her opening singles match against talented young American lefty Robin Montgomery.
Jabeur teamed up with Paula Badosa for doubles in D.C. But after winning their first match, they withdrew.
Jabeur had taken a pass on the Olympics because of the multiple surface changes. And you got the sense that she’s far from 100 per cent – which seems to be par for the course for her the last few years.
And, indeed, just a few hours before she was to play, Jabeur withdrew with a shoulder injury.
