Ons Jabeur is taking a “step back” from tennis for her own wellbeing.<\/b><\/p>\n

The WTA announced, external<\/span><\/a> on Thursday the Tunisian had withdrawn from the forthcoming Montreal Open and added the 30-year-old was “the only player in the top 99 who has not entered next month’s US Open”.<\/p>\n

“For the past two years I’ve been pushing myself so hard, fighting through injuries and facing many other challenges,” wrote Jabeur in a social media post.<\/p>\n

“But, deep down, I haven’t felt happy on court for some time now.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

Jabeur has been as high as number two in the rankings but has now dropped to 71st.<\/p>\n

A two-time Wimbledon runner-up, she retired from her first round match<\/a> at the All England Club this year as she struggled on the tournament’s hottest ever opening day.<\/p>\n

Following her Wimbeldon exit, Jabeur said: “I’m pretty sad, it really doesn’t really help with my confidence and what I keep pushing myself to do, even though it has been a very tough season for me.”<\/p>\n

She added she would rest and just “try to disconnect a little bit from tennis” and spend some time with her family.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
