Playing matches in behind could get tough for me - Ons Jabeur

The Tunisian talked about not overworking herself and keeping herself in a proper frame. of mind as the Tennis season keeps chugging along. She said that taking a short vacation after Wimbledon did her a world of good.
On another note, she said that the matches in Asia would test her endurance. The Asian matches will take place after the US Open. She was keeping her fingers crossed that she could get through the US Open without any major hiccups. "I'm a zombie because I have a flu, otherwise... No, honestly I talked about this. I took vacation after Wimbledon. I think that really helped me kind of take a second breath for the rest of the season," she said.
"I feel like I will be tired maybe around Beijing. That's when it's going to get tough. But I think maybe last year's season helped me get used to playing a lot of matches. Yeah, emotionally could be tired, but I know if I just let go, I will regret it after, so I want to continue and stay in New York as long as I can," Jabeur added.
