Ons Jabeur vs Moyuka Uchijima preview

26th seed and former champion Ons Jabeur will begin her 2025 Madrid Open campaign against Moyuka Uchijima in the second round. Jabeur has won 12 of the 20 matches she has played in 2025. The Tunisian made a comeback on the Tour this year, having ended her 2024 season early due to injury.

Jabeur has reached three quarterfinals in the season in Brisbane, Abu Dhabi, and Doha. She lost to the likes of Mirra Andreeva (Brisbane), Elena Rybakina (Abu Dhabi), and Ons Jabeur (Doha). She had taken a break from the Tour for a few weeks, as her last event was at the Miami Open, where she had to retire against Jasmine Paolini in the third round. Jabeur received an opening-round bye in Madrid and will begin her clay-court season in the second round.

Moyuka Uchijima has not been in good form in 2025, as the Japanese player has had five first-round exits in the season. Barring those events, she has won just a single match in four other events.

But if he were to pick one, he’d go for Novak Djokovic based on his tally of 24 Grand Slam titles.

When not writing about tennis and technically analyzing the sport, which he believes are his 'forte', Sagnik indulges in reading books.
