"There is a lot. I think Iga is a pretty solid player. She does not give you any free points which is kind of difficult to play against that. Coco is really amazing too, she plays unbelievable tennis. There are a lot of solid players where you have to be if not 100% close to it to play on that day," she said (28:40).

Ons Jabeur is ready to step on the courts of Abu Dhabi on Monday, 3rd February. Kicking off her campaign against seventh Jelena Ostapenko. This will be the Tunisian's first tournament since her third-round exit at the Australian Open.
