Ons Jabeur is one of the few players on tour who is not hated by many. Each player has a base of tennis fans who dislike them for one reason or another. But Jabeur does not fall into that category. The Tunisian player showed why no one bad-mouths her to a prominent tennis broadcaster in a heartwarming gesture. The story has now been shared with her fans.

 While Jabeur is often the one showing her concern for others, she is also on the receiving end of kindness many times. After her Wimbledon final loss this year, she received an uplifting message from Andy Murray, which moved her to tears. Jabeur’s kind personality often attracts kindness to her.

During her stint in the US Open, Ons Jabeur was focused on going as far as she could. But her focus on the sport did not change her concern for others. During her time in New York, she met with Blair Henley, a prominent tennis writer. Henley wore a sweater during the warm weather in New York, which caught the eye of Jabeur. The conversation that followed warmed Henley’s heart. 

Noticing the peculiar apparel, Jabeur inquired, “Blair, why are you wearing a sweater?“. Henley replied, “Ons, I am always cold, and I have a high heat tolerance. What can I say?“. Jabeur further asked her, “Have you seen a doctor about that? Have you had your thyroid checked?“. 

Henley replied that she had not seen a doctor and further stated, “You know what? Not yet. As she’s asking me this, she’s inspecting my thyroid region. Would that happen with any other player on tour? Absolutely not; that’s why we love Ons Jabeur. She is who she is, and she is such a gem“.

She shows concern for those who share tennis news with the world. All fans love her warm personality and don’t evoke much dislike for her. However, she is not always the one being kind.
