Former world number two and two-time Wimbledon finalist Ons Jabeur has revealed that she is expecting her first child, marking a significant pause in her tennis career. The 31-year-old Tunisian athlete, currently ranked 79th, announced the news on Instagram, sharing her excitement about welcoming a baby boy in April. Jabeur, affectionately known as the ‘Minister of Happiness’ for her vibrant personality, explained that she decided to step away from the sport in July to prioritize her mental and physical health. She expressed that she had not felt joy on the court ‘for some time’ and needed time to ‘breathe, heal, and rediscover the joy of simply living.’ Jabeur also echoed concerns about the grueling tennis schedule, describing it as ‘killing everyone,’ a sentiment shared by other top players like Iga Swiatek. Despite her hiatus, Jabeur remains a trailblazer as the highest-ranked Arab player in WTA history, with five singles titles to her name. Fans eagerly await her eventual return to the court, but for now, she is focused on her growing family.
