Ons Jabeur. “I want to be No. 1 in the world”

Semi-finalist from Charleston and unfortunate finalist from Charleston 2, Tunisian Ons Jabeur is now dreaming of 1st place in the WTA rankings. Currently at the 24th position, the 26-year-old athlete wants to go beyond the goals she set at the start of the season.

“By the end of this year, I would like to get into the top 10 or 15 before aiming beyond. I want to be No. 1 in the world and win Grand Slams, ”  said the best African tenniswoman during the Players Voice program on Eurosport.

On March 29, 2021, Ons Jabeur had proven that she had the talent to beat the best players in the discipline. In the round of 16 of the Miami Open, she had overcome the American, Sofia Kenin, in 3 sets (6-4.4-6.6.4). His opponent was in 4th place in the world at the time.

Ons Jabeur has also returned to his high-quality matches and the confidence gained. “I played against a lot of great players. And that’s what gives me the confidence to realize that I really have what it takes to make it happen. For the moment, I admit that I am not quite there. I have work to do to find this missing ingredient, but I firmly believe that I can achieve this goal, ” says the Tunisian.

However, she suffered a hamstring injury in the round of 16 of the Masters 1000 in Madrid where she distinguished herself by releasing the American Sloane Stephens. She began a rehabilitation program to be able to resume competitions as quickly as possible.
