Ons Jabeur’s season in 2024 came to an early end due to a troublesome shoulder problem that hindered her performance on the tennis court. The Tunisian, despite the injuries, experienced a season that was far from her usual brilliant form, with a lower level of play compared to her previous successful years. It was clear that the shoulder issue was a major factor in her struggles throughout the year.
After undergoing tests and consulting with her medical team and support staff, Jabeur made the tough decision to cut her season short in order to fully address the nagging shoulder injury. The goal is to ensure she is back to full health in time for the Australian Open in 2025, where she hopes to make a strong comeback and pursue her dream of winning a Grand Slam title.
Reflecting on her decision, Jabeur shared, “This year has been extremely challenging for me and, as athletes, we know that recovery is part of the journey. Due to the persistent shoulder injury, my medical team and I have made the difficult decision to sit out the remainder of the season.” She also expressed her gratitude for the support she has received and her commitment to engaging in charity work during her time off court.
Fans of the talented Tunisian player will have to wait until 2025 to see her back in action, but Jabeur is determined to return stronger than ever and show her true potential on the tennis court. As she looks ahead to the new season, she remains focused on her goal of achieving success and fulfilling her aspirations in the sport she loves.
