And about her rival from Germany, Tatjana Maria, Jaber confirmed: “In the end, I wanted to share this moment with her, because she is an inspiration to many people, including myself, after I gave birth to two children, I I can’t believe how she did it.”
She added: “Physically Tatiana is a monster, she thought she would give up but she didn’t and she sent him and everything on the court is impressive, I hope it stays that way.”
She concluded: “As a Tunisian woman, I am proud to stand up. I’m just trying to inspire as much as possible, see more Arab and African players at this level and be on the main court one day.”
