Former world No. 2 Ons Jabeur steps back from tennis to ‘rediscover the joy of simply living'
Former world No. 2 Ons Jabeur has announced she is taking a step back from tennis to 'rediscover the joy of simply living'. The two-time Wimbledon finalist said in a statement on her social media that she has not 'felt happy on the court for some time now' and believes it is time to 'take a step back and finally put (herself) first'. Jabeur retired from her first-round match against Viktoriya Tomova at The All England Club this year due to injury. She was a set and a break behind when she shook hands with the Bulgarian after calling for a medical time-out. Thank you for your support 🙏🏻❤️ — Ons Jabeur (@Ons_Jabeur) July 17, 2025 The 30-year-old reached the finals of both Wimbledon and the U.S. Open in 2022 before again getting to the final at The All England Club a year later. The straight sets defeat by Markéta Vondroušová in 2023 was described by Jabeur as the most painful of her career. The 2025 season has seen Jabeur knocked out of the French Open in the first round, after she was forced to end her season last year early due to a shoulder injury. Her injury problems recurred as she strained a leg muscle in this year's Miami Open. She did not indicate in her announcement when she would return to tennis. 'For the past two years, I've been pushing myself so hard, fighting through injuries and facing many other challenges,' her message said. 'But deep down, I haven't felt truly happy on the court for some time now. 'Tennis is such a beautiful sport. But right now, I feel it's time to take a step back and finally put myself first: to breathe, to heal, and to rediscover the joy of simply living. 'Thank you to all my fans for understanding. Your support and love mean the world to me. I carry it with me always. 'Even while I'm away from the court, I'll continue to stay close and connected in different ways, and share this journey with you all.'

Prince George and Charlotte Looking Like 'Alcaraz Warriors' Goes Viral
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Prince George and Princess Charlotte, looking disappointed at the outcome of the Wimbledon tennis final, went viral on TikTok. George and Charlotte joined their parents, Princess Kate and Prince William, to watch Carlos Alcaraz take on Jannik Sinner in the men's singles final. Alcaraz lost in four sets, and royal watchers joked that it looked like George and Charlotte were upset at the outcome based on their body language on center court and during the post-match meet-and-greet. It is, of course, entirely possible that they were simply wilting in the heat, as Charlotte was seen fanning herself during the match and George was wearing a suit jacket and tie. Prince George and Princess Charlotte watch Jannik Sinner beat Carlos Alcaraz in the final of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships in London, on July 13, 2025.

Karwai Tang/WireImage Why It Matters Prince Louis is usually the royal who generates viral social media content at public events, but George's body language in particular sparked a flurry of light-hearted jokes and memes. One video of the brother and sister posted on X that was viewed 5.7 million times and liked 14,000 times, included the message: "This is sending me they are not even hiding it." The clip was then quoted in another post, which read: "The royal children being Alcaraz warriors is frying me." That post was in turn viewed 2.6 million times and liked 57,000 times. What To Know The clip begins with footage of George and Charlotte standing by their seats on Center Court, before cutting to a later clip of the royal siblings with their mother and Sinner after the game. "It was a fantastic thing to watch for us and seriously inspiring," Kate told the new Wimbledon champion. George, who turns 12 next week, and Charlotte, 10, may not have seemed their usual, smiling, animated selves, but it was also a hot day with temperatures in the high 20s Celsius (high 70s, low 80s Fahrenheit). A certain amount of debate around the royals is perhaps inevitable.

HENRY NICHOLLS/AFP via Getty Images What People Are Saying The numerous responses to the viral X posts were all in the name of light-hearted humor. One X user joked: "[George] must have put money on alcaraz 😭😭😭😭 half the royal savings down the drain." Another X user posted: "OMG! I love it. Alcarez Warrior Myself." A third X user posted: "they were heatedd." What Happens Next Fans of the royals can look forward to a new photo of George, which Kate and William will likely release on Tuesday to mark their son's 12th birthday.
