Former world number two Ons Jabeur announced on Thursday she was going to “take a step back and finally put myself first”, after two difficult years on the circuit.

“For the last two years, I’ve been pushing myself so hard, fighting through injuries and facing many other challenges. But deep down, I haven’t felt really happy on the court for some time now,” the 30-yearold three-time Grand Slam finalist explained on social media.

“Tennis is such a beautiful sport.

But right now, I feel it’s time to step back and finally put myself first: to breathe, to heal, and to rediscover the joy of simply living,” added the Tunisian world number 71
