Video: Ons Jabeur plays creepy Halloween prank on Iga Swiatek and Caroline Garcia, scares the duo ahead of WTA Finals

Tunisian tennis star Ons Jabeur, who is currently contesting at the WTA Finals in Fort Worth, Texas, along with Iga Swiatek, Caroline Garcia and five other top-8 players, recently decided to pull a scare prank on the two on the occasion of Halloween.

The World No. 2 brought out her spooky side as she dressed up in all black, paired with a skeleton mask. Ons Jabeur, who is nicknamed “the Minister of Happiness”, for always being friendly and spreading happiness with colleagues on the WTA tour, decided to shift gears for the day and named herself “the Minister of Scariness”. The Tunisian stated that it was her pleasure to scare her fellow competitors for a change.

"So it’s my pleasure to scare players today. I’m gonna hide behind the social media screen and I’m gonna jump out and scare a few players," she said in a video posted by WTA, adding, "I’m Minister of Happiness, I need to change the jobs for like two seconds, no? Yeah. (I’ll be nicknamed) Minister of Scariness."

Jabeur proceeded to scare Swiatek and Garcia during what they believed was a pre-tournament interview. Although both the players were terrified, Iga Swiatek, who was engrossed in answering a question, was horror-struck by the scare.

"Oh My God!," she screamed, "This is the worst. Are you kidding me?"

Her mood, however, lightened when she saw her 2022 US Open final opponent Jabeur behind the mask and started laughing. Cincinnati Open champion Caroline Garcia, meanwhile, commended the World No. 2 for doing a good job.

"Good job. Good job, Ons. She did good. She did good. Good job. I’m fine," she laughed.
