The total prize money of $236.000 does not correspond to the total prize won according to the list of tournaments Ons Jabeur has won. Make a basic calculation and one can find out that the sum won on these tournaments(if the list is accurate of course) exceeds the total prize money by a large margin. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.106.186.250 (talk) 18:45, 4 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

Lead

edit

Early life and background

edit

Junior career

edit

2008–12: WTA debut

edit

2013–16: Steady in the top 200 at the ITF level

edit

2017–18: Top 100 debut, and then first WTA final

edit

2019–20: Grand Slam quarterfinal, top 50 debut

edit
  • "She defeated three players including No. 36, Yulia Putintseva" - not mentioned in the WTA Tennis source attached to it
  • "In February 2020, Jabeur continued her progress and reached the second round of the Dubai Tennis Championships, where she lost to Simona Halep, despite having a match point in the third set tiebreak." - none of this is mentioned in the Romania Insider source so another reference that mentions all of this information is needed to replace it

Fed Cup

edit

Olympics

Playing style

edit

Personal life

edit
  • "a Russian-Tunisian former fencer who has also served as her fitness coach since 2017." - you can clarify that it was mid-2017 as stated in the GQ Middle East source
  • "Her favorite tennis player as a child was Andy Roddick." - The WTA Tennis source attached to this does state why Roddick is her favorite player if you believe that information would help
  • "She plays football recreationally, and is a fan of Real Madrid CF." - WTA Tennis states that she supports Real Madrid but not that she plays it recreationally
  • "At the tournament, she entered the main draw as a lucky loser and won her first two career Grand Slam main draw matches." - not so sure of the relevance of this information in the personal life section. It could be better to remove it since it is mentioned in the 2017-18 sub-section

References

edit

Overall the main issues concern some of the wording of the prose and material not supported by some sources. On hold. MWright96 (talk) 20:48, 2 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Jabeur ethnicity

edit

Many articles write that Ons Jabeur is an Arab tennis player. I don’t believe Tunisians are Arabs but rather ethnically Berbers. Nor is Tunisia part of the Middle East but rather North Africa. There seems to me to be a confusion between being Muslim and being Arabic. Can anyone clarify this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.172.183.139 (talk) 16:12, 13 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

error

edit

in quick facts Grand Slam singles results, she is noted as having won ("W") the 2022 Wimbledon. But that match has just begun. 68.194.123.196 (talk) 13:09, 9 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

This has already been fixed. This page isn't protected, so feel free to fix mistakes like this yourself the next time you see them. IffyChat -- 13:20, 9 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Photos - some were quite poor and un-needed

edit

Some of the pics being put up are really bad and don't enhance the article with info. We don't need extra pics with her husband or off balance shots from years ago. We want a forehand, backhand, serve, and net volley. Perhaps a trophy or championship pose. Maybe one or two others if they are really sensational and never more than 10. If we find a better pic we replace an old pic we don't just keep adding because we can. Please be a little more frugal and specific in future additions.

Errors

edit

In the introducing part, you have written that she is the first African and Arab woman who has reached Grand slam QF, and the first one who won Wta title, which is not correct, as Amanda Coetzer did that in 90s. So, she is the first Arab woman, not African, to have done that. Cara Black also has won 1 Wta title in singles. 93.137.69.199 (talk) 15:34, 9 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

  Done Fixed. Thanks. Fyunck(click) (talk) 18:40, 9 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
As of July 2023 the article still says ‘At the 2020 Australian Open, Jabeur became the first African or Arab woman to reach a major quarterfinal’, which is still incorrect as per the original error. 2A01:4B00:9002:E400:25E0:C2AB:1FDF:FF41 (talk) 13:41, 15 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
It doesn't "still" say it. It was properly removed but at some point later it was erroneously re-added. Fyunck(click) (talk) 18:40, 15 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Name pronunciation and latin spelling

edit

I am confused. Article says pronunciation is "Uns Džábir". At this site: https://www.wtatennis.com/players/316847/ons-jabeur we can play audio where we can hear how she pronounce her name herself. She says "Ons Žabér". I know that Tunisia was French colony and it sounds to me like she is French ethnic, not Arab. And why article name (Ons Jabeur) differs from latin transcription stated in article (Uns Jābir)? Nadsenec2 (talk) 09:58, 12 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Nadsenec2: Before seeing your reply I added in Jabeur’s personal pronunciation as a footnote. Note that the audio clip has her pronouncing her name in English, though obviously in the French style and not the Arabic.

Keep in mind also that players/people can alter their pronunciation based on the language – compare the audio on Jean-Julien Rojer’s ATP player profile to how he pronounces his name in Dutch interviews.

Overall it does seem that Jabeur identifies more with the French culture, at least as far as her name is concerned, but it’s still not apparent which ethnicity she belongs to. I don’t think the two are especially distinct in modern Tunisia, and she obviously speaks Arabic, French and English. Rovingrobert (talk) 04:34, 7 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

First Muslim to reach a major final claim

edit

Marat Safin won the 2000 US open and.is Muslim 82.2.91.195 (talk) 22:31, 12 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

First African player claim

edit

I believe the first paragraph should state that Jabeur was the first North African player, male or female, to reach a major singles final. Currently neglects Kevin Anderson (South African, reached two GS finals). 192.234.2.18 (talk) 17:10, 13 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

An Egyptian male won Wimbledon and French championships in the past. We aren't talking ethnicity, but a player representing Egypt. That's North Africa. And Marat Safin was Muslim and won two titles. Fyunck(click) (talk) 19:59, 13 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Prize money

edit

The prize won should be changed to over 11 million after Ons reached Wimbledon 2023. 1.40.185.117 (talk) 02:20, 17 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

this page is not updating. After round 16 the prize should be changed. 120.18.154.175 (talk) 01:30, 9 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
