Ons Jabeur is a tennis professional from Tunisia, born on 28th August 1994. Jabeur’s mother introduced her to the sport, and she has devoted her life to tennis ever since. She made her WTA debut in 2012, but she only had her breakthrough seasons only in her late 20s. Since last year, Jabeur has made her way to three Grand Slam finals. She lost the Wimbledon title to Elena Rybakina and the US Open title to Iga Swiatek in 2022. Now, she is all set to vie for the Venus Rosewater dish in her second Wimbledon final today.
She became the third player to enter consecutive Wimbledon finals after Serena and Venus Williams in the last 20 years. While she has managed an impressive feat, she could not have done it without her husband, who is her support system and her fitness coach.
