Jabeur dreaming big after reaching Top 10 landmark: "Why not No. 1 in the world?"

Ons Jabeur was the story of a feel good run at the BNP Paribas Open Indian Wells as well as reaching the top 10 in the world as a result.

For Jabeur, it doesn't stop there though after her campaign was derailed by Paula Badosa with her sights set firmly on becoming World No.1.

“It’s big. I never imagined that I could lead the tour in wins. It shows that, physically, I’m much better,” said Jabeur.

“My tennis coach [Issam Jellali] is someone that I respect so much. We kind of started from the bottom together.

“We are now in the Top 10. They doubted us a lot as a team, but we stayed together. We kept communicating a lot. It’s never easy coming from my country.

“We have to change this mentality that you need to have a coach with a lot of experience. The most important thing is that the coach understands the player.

“From there, you can do amazing things. That’s what we did with my team. It’s a dream team I have. I hope we continue working hard.

“Now we are even more motivated to go even to the Top 5. Why not No. 1 in the world?”
