Iconic Tennis player, and world's No.7 seed Ons Jabeur announced that she is donating a portion of her prize money to Palestine.
She announced the news in court after defeating Markéta Vondroušová in the group stage of the Women's Tennis Association finals 2023.
Jabeur said: “I am very happy with the win but I haven't been very happy lately. The situation in the world doesn't make me happy... I feel like… I am sorry. It’s very tough seeing children & babies dying every day. It’s heartbreaking. I have decided to donate part of my prize money to help the Palestinians. I can't be happy with this win. It is not a political message, it is humanity. I want peace in this world. That’s it.”
