Tunisian tennis star Ons Jabeur lost her second consecutive Wimbledon final at the 2023 Championships, but received an outpouring of support from members of the tennis community, including retired American pro Andy Roddick.
The former World No.1 empathized with Jabeur, sending her a strong message of support after her devastating loss against Marketa Vondrousova at this year's SW 19 final.
Jabeur overwhelmed by Roddick's message of support
Roddick had been in a similar position, losing multiple Wimbledon finals to Roger Federer. The American urged Jabeur to never give up in a heartwarming message.
"Obviously I was crying, you know, happy crying.. I appreciate that he took the time to write a good long message," revealed Jabeur. "I'll definitely talk to him when I see him, probably at US Open."

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
