Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Tennis player, Ons Jabeur, gives details of herself in an interesting interview.
“I see myself like I’m on a mission,” Jabeur said from Berlin, where last weekend she won her second title of the year. “I tell myself I chose to do this. Let’s say, I chose to inspire people. I chose to be the person that I am. I want to share my experience one day and really get more and more generations here.
“So I don’t see it as a burden, I see it as a great pleasure and great responsibility. It’s part of the job, it’s part of why I am playing today. And I do believe in sharing. Sharing could help me, help me as a player and help the other generations.
“I honestly don’t think that something changed this year,” she says. “But the evolution that I’m getting from year to year, the experience that I’m getting, the matches that I’ve been winning are getting me more and more experience. That’s helped me to be the player that I am today.
“I feel like I needed to go through a lot of steps to achieve them and be the player I am today because I cannot just jump from step one to step 10. I’m the kind of player that takes my time, learning about myself, learning about some other things.
“I’m glad that at the beginning of the season I set my goals high, and said that I want to hold titles, win a grand slam and be top five. There is one more to achieve and hopefully I will achieve it.
“And also, when you do a drop shot, they don’t know what to expect [in future]. They know you can do it. They know they have to run. And some people, they’re not really happy with running forward all the time..
“It would mean a lot. I am manifesting a lot on that this year. It’s just such a great tournament. I remember the crowd last year was amazing. It’s a surface that I can play really well on and I can enjoy myself.And that’s why I would love to get the Wimbledon trophy. Hopefully I will be ready. My eyes are on Wimbledon.
Q. Where are you staying in London?
ONS JABEUR: Pretty far, apparently (smiling).
I don’t know, but there is traffic every road for some reason. I think not far from Hyde Park. Is it Mayfair? Is it very far?
Q. Yes.
ONS JABEUR: Bad choice
“If maybe I’m successful now, in a few years maybe not, people will probably forget about me and move on and think about other players, for sure.
“But definitely I love talking to people, love interacting with the juniors here. They’re very nice. You know, just life moves on.”
