Ons Jabeur makes it back to the court for the GDL Open

Jabeur had a fall down at the US Open due to some medical conditions. The on-court doctors analyzed her for an issue with the blood pressure, which got worse because Ons also suffers from a history of asthma.

In addition, due to severe weather conditions, she failed to make it through the set. Despite that, she came back on the court and continued to play, and even continued throughout the tournament. And now she is going to be competing in the GDL Open in both the singles and the doubles categories.
