Ons Jabeur, a three-time Grand Slam finalist and the first Arab woman to achieve this milestone, announced her decision to take a break from tennis. At 30 years old, she has struggled with form, failing to advance past the third round of a major in 2023. Jabeur's recent performances were impacted by health issues, including asthma. Expressing a need for happiness, she highlighted her ongoing battles with injuries and hardships. Jabeur aims to prioritize her well-being and stated her desire to rediscover personal joy. She also expressed gratitude to her supporters.
For the past two years, I've been pushing myself so hard, fighting through injuries and facing many other challenges. But deep down, I haven't truly felt happy on the court for some time now.
Tennis is such a beautiful sport. But right now, I feel it's time to take a step back and finally put myself first: to breathe, to heal, and to rediscover the joy of simply living.
