How Ons Jabeur helped bring the Jasmin Open to life
Ons Jabeur is a two-time major finalist and the World No.2 in tennis. She helped bring the Jasmin Open, the first Hologic WTA Tour event in Tunisia, to Monastir. The tournament was originally intended for Tunis, but the government provided funding for the construction of a suitable tennis stadium. The event is also symbolic of Tunisia's growing popularity. It is held in a resort that has hosted ITF tournaments for more than a decade. There is political significance to the tournament. Mouelhi was re-elected vice-president of the Arab Tennis Union this year.
