I would have tried for a baby had I won – African tennis star prevented from conceiving after Wimbledon final loss

African tennis star Ons Jabeur’s revelation about her plans to have a baby if she had won her maiden Grand Slam title at Wimbledon last summer has shed light on the personal struggles and desires of athletes.

The world number 6, who had a remarkable journey to the final despite injury setbacks and being out of form, faced disappointment once again as she lost to Marketa Vondrousova.

Initially, fans believed that Jabeur’s tears were a result of coming so close to victory and falling short for the second time.

However, the Tunisian tennis star has now revealed that her emotions were tied to something more personal.

Winning the Wimbledon title would have allowed her to take a break and start a family.

In her documentary This is Me, Jabeur shared her disappointment, saying, “People think I have this pressure because I want to do it for other people, which is not true. There was a personal thing going on there. I win that [final], I could have a baby right away.”

This revelation highlights the sacrifices and challenges faced by athletes.

They not only strive for victory on the court but also have personal aspirations and dreams.

Jabeur’s desire to win was not solely for herself but also for the opportunity it would have presented to start a family.

Jabeur’s story resonates with many who have faced setbacks and disappointments in their pursuit of personal goals.
