Nov 12 : Former world number two Ons Jabeur said she hopes to return to professional tennis in 2027, after the Tunisian gave birth to her first child in April.

Jabeur took a break from tennis last year following her first-round exit at Wimbledon, citing injuries and fatigue. She later extended her break after announcing she was pregnant.

“I’m hoping to come back, hopefully next year. I still don’t know the exact time, but very soon,” the three-times Grand Slam runner-up told The National in an interview published on Wednesday.

“I’m still discovering … my body is a bit changed after the delivery, but I’m definitely coming back and hoping to stay a few more years on tour before actually retiring.

“I’m enjoying everything with my son. He actually comes with me when I train. I’m trying to come back slowly.”

The 32-year-old, dubbed by fans as the “Minister of Happiness” for her cheerful personality, has won five WTA titles and became the first Arab woman to reach a Grand Slam final in 2022, finishing runner-up at Wimbledon to Elena Rybakina.
