2023-08-25
Arr, mateys! Ons Jabeur, a fierce lass ranked No. 5 amongst the women's tennis players o' the world, be not one to hold her tongue. She be boldly speakin' her mind 'bout the foul words flung across the seas o' social media!
Ons Jabeur, the No. 5-ranked women's tennis player in the world, is known for her optimistic attitude and refusal to let adversity bring her down. She recently defended her friend and fellow player Iga Swiatek against social media hate and criticism. Jabeur agrees with Swiatek that the amount of hate received after losing a set is ridiculous, and believes that players shouldn't pay attention to these negative messages as they only bring bad energy. She acknowledges that it's difficult not to be affected by social media antagonism, especially when threats are involved, but she believes that the International Tennis Federation (ITF) is doing a good job monitoring and reporting such situations. Jabeur emphasizes the importance of talking about the issue to prevent it from escalating to threatening levels. She prides herself on having a good relationship with all the players and defends Swiatek because they want what's best for themselves and the sport. Despite her recent loss in the Wimbledon Final and the previous U.S. Open Final, Jabeur aims to be the last woman standing at the Arthur Ashe Stadium and win a Grand Slam trophy. She loves playing in New York because she feels appreciated as a woman, although she knows that social media appreciation may not always be there. Jabeur will continue to speak out against trolls and support her fellow players, promoting a positive and supportive environment in the tennis community.
