Second seed Bianca Andreescu faced the in-form Tunisian professional Ons Jabeur in the National Bank Open R3. In that match, Jabeur displayed an act of sportsmanship when Andreescu laid on the court in pain. Without any doubt, such scenes make the sporting world more beautiful and inspiring.

It happened during the second set of the match when the Canadian seemed to struggle with her feet. Despite being a set down, Jabeur did not stop to go and check up on her opponent. Instead, she sat down in front of Andreescu, asking her with earnesty.

What’s more interesting is that the reigning Queen’s champion also pressed the 21-year-old Canadian’s feet. Later on, Andreescu called a medical time out and got back on her feet.

But unquestionably, the scenes from the Jabeur-Andreescu matchup would remain in the tennis society for long. Similarly, the couple played with sheer discipline and technique to find oneself a place in the Canadian Open quarterfinals.
