Ons Jabeur needs to take a break. The Tunisian tennis player is going through a delicate moment in her career without any titles since 2023 and currently ranked 71st in the WTA rankings. Furthermore, injuries have not been on her side, and that's why she has decided to take some time to recover her happiness and confidence. The 30-year-old player stated through her social media: "In the last two years, I have made a great effort, fought against injuries, and faced many other challenges. But deep down, I hadn't truly felt happy on the court for a long time. Tennis is a beautiful sport. But now I feel it is time to take a step back and put myself first: breathe, heal, and rediscover the joy of living. Thank you to all my followers for your understanding. Your support and love mean a lot to me. I carry it with me always. Even while I am away from the court, I will stay close and connected in different ways, and I will share this journey with all of you."
