The Tunisian player says it has been difficult to focus on tennis due to current events.
Tunisia’s Ons Jabeur said a portion of her winnings in the WTA Finals will be set aside for the Palestinians.
After earning her first win of the week at the season-ending championships in Cancun, Tunisia’s Jabeur choked back tears as she spoke on court. “The situation in the world doesn’t make me happy,” Jabeur added as she broke down in tears, before composing herself enough to talk about the Israel-Hamas conflict.“It’s heart-breaking, so I’ve decided to donate part of my prize money to help the Palestinians.
“I’m sorry — it’s not a political message, it’s just humanity. I want peace in this world and that’s it.”
