Ons Jabeur ranking

Tunisia’s Ons Jabeur rises from No. 4 to a new career-high of No. 3 on the WTA rankings today after capturing her second WTA title of the year in Berlin, a WTA 500 grass-court event.

Today, Ons Jabeur rises from No. 4 to No. 3 on the WTA rankings after winning her second WTA title of the year at a WTA 500 grass-court event in Berlin.

Jabeur is the 57th player in WTA history to reach the Top 3; there have been 28 No. 1 players, 15 No. 2 players, and now 14 No. 3 players, including Jabeur.

Jabeur has now won two of her three career WTA titles on grass—Birmingham last year and Berlin this year. The other one came at Madrid this year, on clay.
Jabeur has now won two of her three career WTA titles on grass—Birmingham last year and Berlin this year. The other one came at Madrid this year, on clay.

Already the first Arab tennis player to reach the Top 10 in either ATP or WTA rankings history, the Tunisian trailblazer is now tied for the highest-ranked player representing an African country in either ATP or WTA rankings history, too, alongside South Africa’s Amanda Coetzer, who also ranked to No. 3 in the world back in 1997.

PLAYERS REPRESENTING AFRICAN COUNTRIES TO REACH TOP 5 (ATP or WTA):

  • Ons Jabeur (TUN) [reached No. 3 on WTA rankings in 2022]
  • Kevin Anderson (RSA) [reached No. 5 on ATP rankings in 2018]
  • Amanda Coetzer (RSA) [reached No. 3 on WTA rankings in 1997]

Ons Jabeur hits Career High

Yalla! 🏆
