Jabeur has had the habit of showing her wittiness over and over again. Last year too, a hilarious moment took place before her big match against Iga Swiatek.
Jabeur’s ‘parachute’ remark
Prior to her 2022 Italian Open final match against World Number 1, Iga Swiatek, the Tunisian made a funny statement that took over the headlines. While Jabeur was on an 11-match winning streak, Swiatek was on a 27-match winning run. Commenting on this, Jabeur said, ?So tomorrow the plane will crash and there is only one parachute. I hope I take it (laughter). ?I?m the co-pilot, though. There is no priority there.?

Jabeur’s winning run was eventually broken by Swiatek as the latter defeated the Tunisian in straight sets 6-2, 6-2. The World Number 6 would be looking to get the better of Swiatek at the ongoing Wimbledon Championships. The two are placed in the opposite half of the draw and could potentially meet in a mouth-watering Wimbledon final.
