Ons Jabeur Vows to Replicate Williams Sister’s Success on the WTA Tour

American tennis legend Serena Williams is all set to return to Wimbledon this year. The 40-year-old will make her comeback at Eastbourne this week, partnering with a new doubles pairing. Williams will partner Tunisia’s Ons Jabeur, making her only the sixth tennis player to play women’s doubles alongside Serena.

Jabeur has had a sensational rise in the last few months, becoming the first Arab woman to enter the Top 10 in the WTA rankings. She currently stands at World No.4 ahead of SW19.

The Tunisian will join an elite list of players to pair up with the 23-time Grand Slam winner on grass. The only other player to do so was her sister Venus. In an interview with Racquet, Jabeur talks about her expectations from the matchup said, ??I will become a stuntman.”

“I’m going to try to be 100% on the court: serve like Andy Roddick and volley like the Bryans,” she added. The former American stars have also teamed up with Serena in the past. However, Jabeur will get a chance as a wildcard to team up with the 7-time Wimbledon singles champion.

Serena has come awfully close to winning her 24th Major and equal the all-time record set by Margaret Court. Her last Grand Slam victory came in 2017, when she won the Australian Open. A year earlier, she beat Angelique Kerber in the Wimbledon final to claim her 7th Championship in England.
