Venus Williams, the American tennis legend, is set to make a thrilling comeback at the Jasmin Open in Tunisia, thanks to a main draw wildcard entry. While she wasn’t originally slated to participate, her inclusion in both the singles and doubles events has stirred up excitement.
In the doubles category, Venus will join forces with Tunisian No. 1 and fan favorite, Ons Jabeur. This doubles partnership is especially intriguing since Venus hasn’t played doubles since teaming up with her sister, Serena, at the 2022 US Open. Remarkably, Ons Jabeur had previously partnered with Serena Williams at the 2022 Eastbourne Open, achieving impressive results.
In singles, Ons Jabeur holds the top seed, adding hometown expectations to her already impressive credentials. The tournament’s top 4 seeds, including defending champion Elise Mertens, Jasmin Paolini, and Martina Trevisan, promise intense competition.
The Jasmin Open will take place at the Tennis Club de Monastir, Tunisia, from October 16th to October 22nd, 2023, with a substantial cash prize of $259,303 awaiting the tournament champion. Tennis fans eagerly await the reunion of Venus Williams and Ons Jabeur, making this event a must-watch for tennis enthusiasts worldwide.
