Ons Jabeur is making moves off the court as the Tunisian is one of the investors in the football team owned by Naomi Osaka.
Investing in sports has become the popular thing to do mostly because sports have never become more popular. As we see an increase in sports explode globally we've seen an increase in women's sports as well with many teams and leagues emerging.
One of those leagues in the NWSL with a team, North Carolina Courage, owned by Naomi Osaka. The Japanese player has talked about her interest in business for many years, and she's inspiring other players to follow suit. Ons Jabeur actually invested in her team and recently talked about her love for women's sports at the 2023 Guadalajara Open.
I love supporting women's sports and believe women's sports deserve better. I'm a huge soccer fan, so for me, to invest in this great team. Not just the heart is there, and everything is there, but they just won a title lately. So a great team and I wish them the best of luck for the future.
They're amazing players and if I think if I can last 5 minutes with them will be great.
Football (or soccer) has been particularly popular in the United States lately with the expansion of both the men's and women's leagues, as well as the arrival of global icon Lionel Messi. It's not a bad time to invest in the sport because it will only become more popular.
When it comes to her tennis, Jabeur hasn't been playing that well lately but hopes to put together a good week in Guadalajara. She's the top seed due to the depleted field, and getting her hands on the trophy wouldn't be bad for her confidence.
She hasn't looked very confident in her tennis ever since dropping the Wimbledon final to Marketa Vondrousova.
