Ons Jabeur announces pregnancy, pauses tennis career
Tunisia's former world number two Ons Jabeur announced on Monday that she is expecting her first child and will take a break from professional tennis.
"I took a little break to reset and recharge ... Turns out, we’ve been planning the cutest comeback ever,” the three-times Grand Slam runner-up, known as the "Minister of Happiness", posted on Instagram.
The 31-year-old, currently ranked 79th, said she would temporarily put her career aside to focus on her new family life, as she is expecting a son in April.
Jabeur, who has won five WTA singles titles during her career, has been open about her struggles with depression amid a demanding tour schedule and her announcement comes amid ongoing concerns over the strenuous tennis calendar.
