Tennis enthusiasts were thrilled as Naomi Osaka and Ons Jabeur decided to join forces for doubles at the Abu Dhabi Open, seeking redemption after their early exits at the Australian Open. Osaka, making a grand slam comeback after a year off for the birth of her child, showcased impressive form in lead-up tournaments, notably at the Brisbane International. Unfortunately, her journey at the Australian Open was cut short in the first round by No.16 seed Carolina Garcia.
Undeterred by their individual disappointments, Osaka and Jabeur, who faced a surprising defeat against 16-year-old Mirra Andreeva, have swiftly turned their attention to doubles collaboration in Abu Dhabi. Despite Osaka’s six-year hiatus from doubles, the pair secured a wild card entry into the main draw, highlighting their eagerness to bounce back on the tennis scene. As both players aim for a strong return in upcoming events, their partnership adds an exciting dynamic to the doubles competition in Abu Dhabi.
