Ua pau ka pāʻani e like me ka hoʻomaka ʻana, akā ma ke ʻano nui: me nā mea nānā ʻoluʻolu a me nā mea pā e hoʻomaikaʻi ana i nā mea hope. ʻAʻole i ʻae nā mele a me ka euphoria o nā kuʻi lehulehu i kahi manaʻo ʻo Ons Jabeur e ʻōlelo a me nā ʻeha kuli ma hope o ka hoʻolauleʻa ʻana i kona lanakila ma ka hāʻule ʻana i ka honua a holo e apo i kona ʻohana, ka mea i lilo i mea pāʻani mua o Tunisia i lanakila i ka WTA 1,000.
He mea maʻalahi ka wehewehe ʻana i ka hope o nā wahine o ka Mutua Madrid Open: ʻo ka ʻeha, ka nānā ʻana, a ʻoi aku ka nui o nā manaʻo. ʻO ka pāʻani ka hopena hoʻopau kūpono no ka hoʻokūkū wahine. Ua hoʻokiʻekiʻe ka Tunisian i ka pahu ma hope o ʻelua mau hola o kahi duel koko kahi i hui hou ai ʻo ia me Jessica Pegula ma hope o ʻelua pule mai ko lākou hakakā hope ʻana ma Dubai, kahi i lanakila ai ʻo Jabeur.
Me ka 7-5, 0-6 a me 6-2, ua mālama nā mea pāʻani ʻelua i nā tausani o ka poʻe i hele mai i Caja Mágica me ka kānalua e ʻike iā lākou e hoʻokūkū. Ua lanakila ka ʻAmelika i nā pāʻani ʻehā mua me ka hoʻouka kaua ikaika ʻana mai ka Tunisian, i hoʻi mai a lanakila i ka set. ʻOiai ke kūlana kiʻekiʻe o Jabeur, ʻaʻole i hāʻule ʻo Pegula a kahili ʻo ia i ka pahu lua e hana ana i 'donut' i ka poʻokela e hiki mai ana.
E ʻike ʻia ka uila. ʻO nā ʻūhū a me nā leo hoʻōho i ʻole e alakaʻi hewa ʻia ka poʻe pāʻani, ua paʻa i loko o ka pāʻani, a ua huli ke kū i lalo i kēlā me kēia hoʻomaha e hoʻohauʻoli i ka poʻe hope. Ma hope o kekahi mau minuke e hoʻomākaukau ʻia ke mele a me ka manawa no ka makana, e mālama ʻia ka ʻaha makana. Ma hope o ka pahū ʻana o kāna hoa hoʻokūkū ʻo Pegula, ua ʻeha ʻo Jabeur i ke kahua no kāna kīʻaha. "Makemake au e hoʻomaikaʻi iā Jabeur, kāna hui a me kāna ʻohana āpau no ka pule nui i loaʻa iā lākou. Pono ʻoe, ua hana nui ʻoe," wahi a ka ʻAmelika me ka paʻa ʻana i kāna kīʻaha.
Ua lanakila ʻo Jabeur i ka lanakila ma mua o ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i kahi moʻolelo a i ʻole ka piʻi ʻana o ka pae. ʻO kona lanakila ʻana ma ka Mutua Madrid Open ua lilo ʻo ia i mea pāʻani Arab mua i lanakila i ka WTA 1.000. "Ke manaʻolana nei au he nani kēia lā no koʻu ʻāina a no ʻApelika, a ke manaʻo nei au e hoʻoikaika i nā mea pāʻani ʻē aʻe e hoʻolaʻa iā lākou iho i ka tennis," wahi āna me ka hauʻoli. "Haʻaheo loa wau a hauʻoli loa i ka poʻe i hele mai e kākoʻo iaʻu mai Tunisia," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo ia, e nānā ana i nā kū. Ua ʻakaʻaka ka mea pāʻani tennis i nā kū ma hope o ka haʻi ʻana he mea mahalo iā Feliciano López, aia ma ka ʻaha hoʻohanohano. Ua hōʻike pū ʻo ia i kona makemake e hoʻi i Madrid i kēia makahiki aʻe. "Maikaʻi loa koʻu manaʻo ma Sepania, hoʻohiki wau e aʻo hou i ka Spanish i kēia makahiki aʻe," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo ia me ka ʻakaʻaka.
E hāʻawi ʻo Jabeur i ka pule aʻe i ka ʻehiku o ka pae honua, ʻo ia kona poʻokela i kēia manawa. ʻAʻole ulu a hoʻomaikaʻi kāu ʻoihana ʻoihana. I ka makahiki 2022, ua komo ʻo ia i ʻehiku mau hoʻokūkū, kahi āna i hōʻea ai a ʻoi aku paha i ka quarterfinals ʻelima mau manawa, ma kahi o ka pāʻani ʻana i ka hope ma Charleston, kahi i hiki ʻole ai iā ia ke lanakila i ka Swiss Belinda Bencic. ʻO kona manawa i ka Mutua Madrid Open ʻo ia ka mea hoʻoikaika maikaʻi loa no ka Tunisian e ʻoi aku ka hilinaʻi ma mua o ka wā a e alo i kāna mau pilikia e hiki mai ana me ka paʻa a me ka paʻa.
