Ons Jabeur is having one of the most successful seasons of her tennis career. In the recently concluded Wimbledon Championships, she reached her maiden Grand Slam final, in which she went down fighting against Elena Rybakina in the summit clash. Nonetheless, it was a tournament to remember for Jabeur, becoming the first Arab woman to reach a Grand Slam final.

Before her exploits at Wimbledon, Jabeur had already won two titles this year. She prevailed at the Madrid Open and the Bett1 Open in Berlin, apart from a consistent run across other tournaments. Recently, she received a massive honor from the Tunisian President, Kais Saied for her sporting achievements.

The Wimbledon Finalist later took to Twitter herself and thanked the President for honoring her. She said, “Thank you to His Excellency President Kais Saied for his welcome to the Presidential Palace!”
