The Tunisian Ons Jabeur, 27 years old and number two in the world, has consistently wiped out the records of African tennis in general and Arab tennis in particular. After setting WTA Tour records and in the rankings, he began to make his mark on tennis’s Olympus, the Grand Slams.
The North African made history as a pioneer by reaching the Wimbledon final by defeating the German Tatjana Maria by 6-2, 3-6 and 6-1 in an hour and 43 minutes. On Saturday, at exactly 3:00 pm, she will fight for the prestigious Venus Rosewater Dish against the best in the semifinals between 2019 champion, Romanian Simona Halep, and Russian-born Kazakh Elena Rybakina.
Jabuer, quarterfinalist of the event twelve months ago, ended the fairy tale of his friend Maria, 34 years old and mother of two daughters who often hang out with the Tunisian. The African woman is characterized by her good humor and easy coexistence.
With the same ease he acted on the tennis court, showing more art than power. He’d rather invent than demolish, that’s in his genes. One of the most amazing tennis players at the moment is learning to manage the pressure of heights, of tournaments that establish differences.
He entered the group of favorites, by ranking and career. They have won 36 of 45 games this season, and remain undefeated on the grass after eleven games. Before London he succeeded in Berlin, his third professional crown, second on the grass.
His other best Grand Slam result was the 2020 Australian Open quarterfinals. He entered the top-10 in October 2021. A long process since he was the best junior in the Roland Garros 2011.
