VIDEO. “I will give the money to Palestine” Jabeur burst into tears at the Final Tournament
On the night of November 2, the second round match of the Chetumal group in the WTA Final Tournament 2023 held in Cancun (Mexico) was played on November 2. Ounce Jabeur (Tunisia, WTA 7) and Marketa Vondrousova (Czech Republic, WTA 6).
The match ended in victory for Jabeur with scores of 6:4 and 6:3.
After the match, Ons broke down in tears in an on-field interview:
“I’m very happy to win, but I haven’t been very happy lately. The situation in the world doesn’t make me happy… It seems to me… I’m very sad. It’s very difficult to see children and babies dying every day.”
It’s so heartbreaking. I decided to donate some of my prize money to help Palestinians. I cannot be happy about this victory. This is not a political message, this is humanity. I want peace in this world. That’s it,” Jabeur said.
In the last round, Jabeur will face Swiatek and Vondrousova, who has already lost her chance to get out of the group, will face Goff.
