As the WTA Finals in Cancun roll ahead with the exciting group stage matches, tennis sensation Ons Jabeur is gaining victories with a unique strategy. The sixth seed player, known for possessing the skills to hit a wide variety of shots, has adopted a surprising approach to gain victory in Cancun. Referring it to as “winning ugly,” the Tunisian tennis icon revealed a strategy that might not seem to be the prettiest. However, it gets the job done.

Ons Jabeur’s latest game plan at the WTA Finals revolves around applying pressure to her opponents. “The plan was honestly to put pressure on Marketa and try to hit as hard as possible. And then if that doesn’t work, the plan B was I’m going to slice every shot and try to hit some drop shots, some… I call them ‘shitty’ balls, because it can bother a lot of players!”, said Jabeur, as she talked about the win strategy she applied in her recent match against Marketa Vondrousova. This creative strategy played a major role in her 6-4, 6-3 victory over the seventh seed, despite the challenging windy conditions.

What’s even more intriguing is Jabeur’s ability to adapt to the unique court conditions in Cancun. She shared her insight, saying, “I tried to remember which spots on the court were the worst and aimed to hit the ball there more often.” The plan, however, cannot always stand to be as straightforward as it sounds, given the unpredictability of the game. “I’m trying to win ugly—maybe it’s a good thing, sometimes, to learn to play that way,” added Jabeur, as she summed up her current win tactics. Besides revealing her not-so-usual strategy, Tunisia’s minister of happiness also presented her brighter side as a compassionate champion.
