Ons Jabeur received Peace Champion of the Year Award by the Peace and Sport charity based in the country of Monaco.
The charity is best known for its annual White Cards campaign on April 6th which ends with annual awards ceremonies to close out an international forum. As the first Arab and African player to reach a grand slam this year, Jabeur, a well-known trailblazer in sports, received many honours this year including the Peace Champion of the year award.
Described as "a source of inspiration for women and youth around the world", Jabeur was one of many receiving an award for her contribution to the sport and for promoting peace in the world.
It comes as another accolade in a long list of accolades this year for Jabeur who is striking down barriers for women in sports.
