Ons Jabeur recently played in her second career grand slam at the US Open losing to Iga Swiatek but she was still recognized as the Arab Sports Personality of the Year.
Jabeur has had an amazing year so far as she quickly established herself as the second-best tennis player in the world behind Iga Swiatek. Playing in two consecutive grand slam finals proved just that but unfortunately, she lost both of those. One was to Elina Rybakina at Wimbledon.
Jabeur won the first set but lost the next two. The US Open final was lost to Iga Swiatek and she was never really fully in that match. Even if, the Tunisian established herself as the best Arab athlete in the world and she was recognized as such by the Fatima bint Mubarak Women Sports Awards committee.
Representing Arabs and especially Arab women is something Jabeur has talked about many times and she takes great pride in that. One of her major dreams is to inspire more and more young women to pick up sports and show their talents to the world.
