Tunisian tennis star Ons Jabeur has revealed her aim to break into the ‘top ten’ during the 2021 season.

The 26 year-old, who became the first Arab woman to reach the quarter-finals of a Grand Slam tournament at the Australian Open in 2020, is looking to push herself further this year. 

To kick-off the new season she beat Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the opening round of the Abu Dhabi WTA Women’s Tennis Open.

On her 2021 goals, the world No 31 said: “The goal for this year, I want to go for titles, enough of quarterfinals!”

During her stellar 2020 campaign she reached the quarter-finals at WTA’s Qatar Open, Top Seed Open, Cincinnati Masters, and the Ostrava Open.

She added: "I want to be in the Top 10. I know I have the level, I can be in this ranking.

"For me, I set up my goals like this, and I know that I can achieve them.

“I know that I’ve put in the hard work to have these titles, to be able to win more and more, so let’s see.”
