The Tunisian tennis ace played alongside the American in the grass courts of Eastbourne, the very first event of Williams after her year long absence from the circuit. Therefore, it can be said that Jabeur can speak about her form with more accuracy than any other person. While addressing the media in the pre-tournament press conference, the current World No.3 spoke about her recent doubles partner. She said, “Honestly, I was so lucky to get picked by her. And play along her side gives me even more confidence to be much better players.”

“She is amazing and I am so glad that she came back. I feel like she’s okay. I play with her and she’s moving really good. You can see on the important points she can serve three aces and she is really great. And I wanna see her win a lot of matches here.” She added.
