    What's the story

    Ons Jabeur is making the most out of her form and confidence as she overcame Sorana Cirstea in the round of 64 at the Italian Open in Rome.

    Jabeur, who won a maiden WTA 1000 title in Madrid last week, got past Cirstea in straight sets, winning 6-0, 7-6.

    Meanwhile, Bianca Andreescu advanced after Emma Raducanu retired with a low back injury.

    Here's more.

    Jabeur

    Seventh successive win for Jabeur

    Jabeur sealed her seventh successive win after having claimed six in Madrid to lift the title.

    As per WTA, Jabeur is through to the second round of the Italian Open for the first time.

    She will be vying for an eighth straight win and a spot in the round of 16, when she takes on Australia's Ajla Tomljanovic next.

    Jabeur fired one ace compared to none from Cirstea.

    The Arab international committed three double faults to Cirstea's eight.

    She also had a 77% win on the first serve and converted five of the eight break points.

    This was Jabeur's maiden win versus Cirstea as she was trailing 0-2 in the head-to-head series prior to this match.

    2021 US Open champion Raducanu was trailing 6-2, 2-1 when she decided to retire.

    Raducanu was earlier ousted in the third round at Madrid Open.
