Ons Jabeur, the talented Tunisian tennis player, has set her sights on yet another incredible opportunity on the doubles court. After sharing the court with her idol, Serena Williams, in a memorable doubles campaign at Eastbourne last year, Jabeur now hopes to team up with her elder sister, Venus Williams, for another extraordinary experience.

The world No. 6, Jabeur, who recently featured in the Netflix special tennis docu-series Break Point Part 2, made headlines when she partnered with Serena Williams in the women’s doubles draw during the Eastbourne International.

A memorable journey with Serena Williams and another journey that awaits

Reflecting on her past experience playing doubles with Serena Williams, Jabeur fondly recalls the impact it had on her confidence and memories. In her own words, she expresses, “It was amazing. It’s one of those things that I will always remember and it gave me a lot of confidence. It just felt amazing.”

The opportunity to partner with one of the greatest tennis players of all time left an indelible mark on Jabeur, further solidifying her love for the game.

Now, Jabeur eagerly awaits the chance to team up with Venus Williams, another tennis icon she greatly admires. In her own words, she stated, “Now I’m waiting for Venus to ask me to play with her!” Inspired by the impact of the Williams sisters on the sport, Jabeur is thrilled by the prospect of playing alongside Venus, as reported by tennis up to date.

Although she expressed her desire to play doubles with Venus, she is currently focused on her singles campaign at Eastbourne.

Jabeur’s grass court success, Rothesay International Eastbourne and warm crowd support

With the grass court season in full swing, Jabeur finds herself surrounded by formidable opponents at the Rothesay International Eastbourne. Among them is her 2022 Wimbledon final rival, Elena Rybakina, and six other top 10 WTA players, all vying for the prestigious title.

Eastbourne holds a special place in Jabeur’s heart, as it was there that she experienced remarkable support from the crowd, even when facing local favorite Johanna Konta. Jabeur warmly recalls the atmosphere, stating, “Honestly, the people here are amazing, they’re so nice. I remember I played Konta here before, and she’s from here, and even then, people were supporting me a bit, which was amazing, and I’ll always remember that.” The breathtaking views and pleasant weather add to the appeal of Eastbourne, making it an ideal setting for Jabeur to thrive.
