Two-time Wimbledon finalist Ons Jabeur has announced that she is taking a break from tennis as she hasn’t “truly felt happy on the court for some time.”<\/p>\n

Taking to Instagram<\/a>, the Tunisian star wrote: “For the past two years, I’ve been pushing myself so hard, fighting through injuries and facing many other challenges. But deep down, I haven’t truly felt happy on the court for some time now.<\/p>\n

“Tennis is such a beautiful sport. But right now, I feel it’s time to take a step back and finally put myself first: to breathe, to heal, and to rediscover the joy of simply living.<\/p>\n

“Thank you to all my fans for understanding. Your support and love mean the world to me. I carry it with me always. Even while I’m away from the court, I’ll continue to stay close and connected in different ways, and share this journey with you all. Ons.”<\/p>\n
