The schedule for Ons Jabeur includes events in the WTA 1000, WTA 500 & Grand Slams. In the last 12 months, Ons Jabeur has participated in 3 events listed on Koobit. You can find the schedule of upcoming events below.
Ons Jabeur is a Tunisian tennis player, born in 1994 in the town of Ksar Hellal.
She has the distinction of being the highest-ranked Arab player in history, having reached a peak of number 2 in the WTA singles rankings.
Jabeur began playing tennis as a 3 year old, and moved to Tunis aged 12 to train more regularly. She soon began competing on the ITF Juniors tour, and made her grand slam juniors debut aged 15, at the 2009 US Open. In 2011 she won the girls' Roland-Garros title. After a couple of years on the ITF tour, Jabeur made the step-up to the WTA circuit, making her tour-level debut in 2012, in Qatar.
It wasn't until 2017 that the Tunisian first broke into the top-100, and by 2019 she was consistently ranked within the top-80. At the 2020 Australian Open, Jabeur reached the quarterfinals stage, becoming the first Arab woman to reach that stage of any Grand Slam tournament. Jabeur's form then continued to improve: she reached the US Open third round, and the fourth round of Roland-Garros, and finished the 2020 season just outside the top-30. In 2021, Ons Jabeur won her first WTA-level singles title when she triumphed at the Birmingham Classic. She also reached the doubles final at the same tournament. In reaching the 2021 BNP Paribas Open semifinals Jabeur broke into the top-10 for the first time.
Ons Jabeur is a skilful and incredibly entertaining player, whose persona and playing style endear her to crowds around the world. Her game is characterised by unusual and surprising shot choices which catch her opponents off-guard; in particular, Jabeur makes fantastic use of spin, and is capable of producing accurate drop shots from anywhere on the court. Her forehand and backhand are both strong, and she also employs tricky slices from both sides, allowing her to dictate the tempo of rallies and move her opponents around the court.
Disappointing this year. Struggle to get there due to the public transport closures. Games rescheduled on the day to what seemed illogical decision so 3 games to be played from 4.30pm and no games prior. The last game would be starting very late. Quite a big ask for spectators to stay that late then with very limited transport home. The mens final only lasted 1 game ( out of the organisers control i know) but paid $400 to watch one game as the mens ended early and the doubles would finish too late to get home. Not great value for money . What we did see was amazing but not great organising in general this year . Have been for many years but not a great experience.this year unfortunately.
As usual the organisation and players were great. Unfortunately I have the same ‘complaint’ as I have voiced by emails previously. I accompany a person with disability and the first time we were seated in the North stand area for disability seating the chairs provided were good. Last year and this year they are not suitable. To hard and not easy for anyone to push themselves up from. I did observe that the good chairs are still being used in the lower east court side section. So therefor I see no reason why these cannot also be provided or at least given as an option to persons with disabilities! Frankly even I have suffered from a sore back today even though we brought cushions to help and I do not have a disability. It would also be polite to have at least an acknowlefgement of this correspondence.
We enjoyed the final day , but was dissapointed with quarter final day with players pulling out of games due to injury and we didnt get value for our tickets.Overall the tournament was well run , but some foods were too costly . Example magnum ice cream for $8.20 and Pirate Beer can $15
Well organised event with easy access to facilities.
Disappointed that local wines weren’t available in the general admission area.
Really well organised with heaps of staff and helpers to make the experience so smooth. Only gripe was the unavailability of the east room which was given over to the corporate big wigs....
