Ons Jabeur sharpens quest to inspire more Arab women to take up tennis

The Hindu  

Ons Jabeur's long-stated goal is that her historic exploits on court lead to more Arab women taking up tennis -- becoming the first Arab player to win a Grand Slam in next month's French Open final would do wonders to achieve that. Her title in Birmingham last year was the first for an Arab woman player on the circuit and she is the first Arab player -- man or woman -- to crack the top 10. Jabeur's favourite player of all time is America's three-time Wimbledon finalist and 2003 US Open champion Andy Roddick -- but it is Morocco's four-time Grand Slam quarter-finalist Hicham Arazi who has been her role model. Even before her great run at Wimbledon last year, Jabeur's force of personality and talent had already convinced others, including American legend Venus Williams, that she will achieve her goal.
