Currently ranked 36th in the world, Ons Jabeur has been experiencing a couple of seasons where tough times outweigh the good ones, especially due to injuries that have hindered her normal activities. Since WTA Roma 2025, the Tunisian player admits that the ongoing conflict in Gaza affects her significantly, speaking out starkly against the war.

"They are trying to press and press, but unfortunately when you close the border and try to starve children and many others, that is very inhumane. We are in 2025, and I can't believe this is happening," confessed Ons, as reported by the official WTA. "The world is terrible right now, and I don't know what people are thinking."

Cancelation attempts for taking a stand

"It has affected me emotionally a lot. I have been called a terrorist on several occasions. I don't even know what that has to do with anything. I try to help people, especially children who are starving. This cannot be considered normal," said the Tunisian, after voicing support for Palestine again, something she has been attacked for in recent months.

Her goals on the court

"Tennis players are greedy, we always want more and more and more. I try to remind myself every day that what I have achieved is incredible. I still think something is missing. I am waiting for the right moment to click, and I feel in my soul that it is coming." We will see if it happens here in Rome or if Jabeur still needs to wait a few more weeks. She has shown in the past how well she plays on clay, although at Roland Garros, the pressure to defend her spot in the quarterfinals also comes into play.
