Ons Jabeur clinches German Open title

BERLIN: Tunisia' Ons Jabeur clinched the German Open and her third career title on Sunday after Switzerland's Belinda Bencic had to retire due to injury in the championship match. No. 8 seed Bencic suffered an ankle injury in the final game of the opening set, and though the Swiss player continued for three more games, she stopped the match while trailing 6-3, 2-1.

Although the circumstances were unfortunate, No. 1 seed Ons Jabeur now becomes the only player other than World No. 1 Iga Swiatek and this week's Birmingham champion Beatriz Haddad Maia to claim multiple titles this season. Jabeur won the WTA 1000 title in Madrid on clay last month. IANS
