She reached two junior major girls' singles finals at the French Open in 2010 and 2011, winning the latter and becoming the first Arab to win a junior major since 1964. 

Her biggest supporter is probably her husband, Karim Kamoun who is a constant figure in her player's box at the tournament. And this is not only limited to Wimbledon, he has been seen accompanying her at every event this year. Although Jabeur is on a mission for making a name and an illustrious career for herself, not many people know about her husband.

"It is great connecting with people, it is part of my journey. I love seeing them and seeing their support. That's one of the reasons why I started playing tennis".
