Maria Sakkari and Ons Jabeur practised together in Rome but before they started the practice there was some debating going on and the topic was olive oil.
Both Jabeur and Sakkari come from warm-weather countries and the climate there favours the growing of olive trees. Both Greece and Tunisia are proud of the olive oil they produce and the players engaged in a debate about which country makes the best olive oil before their practice.
Besides some good old-fashioned competitive debating, we also saw both players use a special weapon patented by Italians to further emphasise a point during an argument /debate.
