Ons Jabeur is not only one of the best tennis players in the world, but apparently also one of the nicest.

What happens between people in the changing rooms on the tennis tour is like a black box for the observers of the scene. Who is talking to whom? Do the Spaniards play more cards or is backgammon popular? Are there players who isolate themselves? Well: The most important thing is what is happening on the competition courts. But when a few positive pieces of information emerge from the sewing box, it warms the hearts of tennis fans. Just before Christmas.
And so Veronika Kudermetova, who had her best season in 2022, said in an interview with a Russian Youtuber: "Ons says hello to everyone!. She's always in a good mood, you can talk to her about anything, she always radiates something positive. And she's like that with everyone, whether it's a top ten player or number 110. Some girls don't notice you until you're in the top 20.”
Jabeur part of the Maria family
Now it would be interesting to find out exactly who these rather uncooperative colleagues are. But Kudermetova, who will probably no longer compete in doubles with successful partner Elise Mertens next year, is covered.
How good it is to get along with Ons Jabeur became known to a broader public at Wimbledon this year at the latest. "She plays with my daughter Charlotte all the time, loves my other daughter Cecilia, she's like part of the family," Tatjana Maria explained at the time. Which of course doesn't mean that the Tunisian fights for victory even one percent less in the matches. Maria also had to experience this in the semifinals of Wimbledon.
