Ons Jabeur calls on legends to be 'more informed' about goings on in Saudi Arabia before writing off WTA Finals bid
WTAMonday, 05 February 2024 at 08:00
Tunisia’s tennis star Ons Jabeur has backed the idea of Saudia Arabia hosting the WTA Finals in the near future.
The Middle Eastern country is having a keen interest in investing in different sports and in the recent past, it has been reported in the media that the country’s leadership is keen to host the WTA Finals in 2024. The decision has received mixed reactions from both current and former big-name players.
Jabeur was recently quoted in a report where she backed Saudi Arab in hosting the event and also suggested that big-name players must be ‘most informed’ about what’s happening in the country.
“Princess Reema’s answer was unbelievable. I think classy, elegant, and every player was impressed with the way she addressed Martina’s and Chris’ letter,” she said. “We’re obviously looking forward to go there, I’m personally looking forward to go there.”
“It’s amazing to go there and inspire, not just women, men too. I think it is very important to do that. Hopefully if the WTA Finals goes there, I will be one of the supportive players, to try, not just to go play matches there, but also to do a campaign. To go there and do a lot more than just playing tennis.
“I feel like people should be more informed about what’s happening in Saudi; more informed about how the country is getting better and better and I feel like it’s important not to just listen to one side; in anything to be honest with you, not just in this matter, but to anything,” said the sixth-ranked Jabeur.
