In these circumstances, the Tunisian football team and Uns Jaber are working to put a smile on the faces of the people through their achievements. The game of tennis is not very popular in the Arab world and very few women are interested in the game and the infrastructure for tennis is not very stable there.

She is not only a tennis player but also has a broken heart and is increasingly involved in charity work. The pandemic coronavirus has hit the world hard. Tunisia was also in trouble because of Covid 19. Tunisia had a record number of coyote victims, which put a lot of pressure on hospitals where there was no room for patients.
Under the circumstances, he did not lag behind in helping his compatriots and he auctioned off his tennis racket and donated money to buy medicines and medical equipment.

Issam Jalali is a former Tunisian Davis Cup player.
Unas Jaber says that if the determination is sincere then nothing is impossible to achieve. Man's strong intentions make difficulties easier. Anus Jaber, in an interview with an Egyptian sports journalist a decade ago, expressed his determination to make it to the top 10 in the world rankings and has now made his dream a reality. "If I can get to this position, other tennis players in the Arab world can do it too, but true passion and dedication are very important," he said.
Tunisia's Saleema Safar also performed well in the world of tennis, but Unas Jaber had never seen Saleema Safar's matches. Saleema Safar was ranked 75th in the world.

They include Billy Jane King, Martina Neura Tellova, Tracy Austin, Chris Evert, Victoria Azarenka, Ashley Barty, Sania Mirza, Andy Murray, Younis Alinawi, Hisham Arazi, Sloane Stephens, Jennifer Brady, Kim Cluster and others.
Tennis legend Billy Jane King says that Unus Jaber is a very talented player whose performance is constantly improving. She has the qualities to be a world number one and she is traveling in the right direction for this purpose.
She was born on August 28, 1994, in a rural area of Tunisia. But he grew up in Tunisia's third-largest city and the historic medieval city of Sousse. Her mother was an amateur tennis player and she was the one who held the racquet in her daughter's hand when she was three years old and gave her an early tennis training. After that, at the age of four, she was trained by coach Nabeel Malika, who gave her regular training in the game of tennis and introduced her to the mysteries of the game. His club did not have a tennis court, so he had to train at a nearby hotel court.
Keeping in mind his interest and good performance in tennis, his parents moved to the capital, Tunis, where he was admitted to the National Sports High School for 12-year-old talented and young athletes. Where he trained for a few years and his skills were honed. He then traveled to France and Belgium for further training. The state-of-the-art environment in these countries not only instilled confidence in the oppressor but also enhanced his skills.
"When I was little and used to play with my mother, I used to tell her that I was more talented than you and that I would beat you," he said. "The place I am today is where the sacrifices of my parents play a huge role," he said. My mother used to take me to participate in tournaments all over the country. Along with sports, she also paid special attention to my education. She wanted to make my dream come true and I'm glad I got it. She believed in my abilities and her diligence and guidance encouraged me to take this path to success.
She grew up playing with boys during training in Tunisia because there was no girl to practice with. The oppressors play very aggressively and their shots are very powerful. There is no limit to the creativity of his shots on the court which is the main weapon of his success. After moving from junior to senior category, Unas Jaber was not getting the results he expected in the match. He soon realized this as the other players playing with him were rapidly advancing to the top 100 and top 50.
In June 2018, Unus Jaber was ranked 180th in the world. She was ranked 32nd at the end of 2020 but the year 2021 brought her a message of happiness and she reached the quarter-finals and semi-finals of most tournaments and won her first WTA title of her career in Birmingham this year. Won
He has overcome all kinds of differences and difficulties and has achieved these positions with his dedication and passion. During the match, a smile is spread on the face of the oppressor. "I don't care about the outcome of the match, I play well and my smile hides the secret of my good play," he said.
Despite performing well on the tennis court, Unis Jaber was turned down for sponsorship because of his Arab descent. She always sticks her country's flag and heart on the sleeve of her shirt during matches. "I am proud to be of Tunisian and Arab descent," he said. On this basis, Jaber resolutely faced the difficulties of not getting sponsorship and was not discouraged. Eventually, seeing his exemplary performance and rapid development, several brands have now come forward to sponsor him. Are
It is a trail blazer for oppressive Arab women. Inspired by her performance, the girls of the Arab world have now begun to take an interest in the game of tennis.
Proof of her outstanding performance this year is that she is the highest-winning player in the WTA Tour with 48 matches, while no other female player has reached the figure of 45 victories. But due to a right elbow injury in the first round of the Kremlin Cup in Moscow, Uns Jaber was forced to retire in the first round against Russian player Ekaterina Alexandra. As a result, he did not win the 50-match award this year. But she is hopeful that she will do it. Anas Jaber also has a strong chance of making it to the WTA finals in Guadalajara next November as world number one Ashley Barty has announced he will not be taking part in any more tournaments this season.
