"They had Djokovic, Nadal and Federer" - Jabeur on ATP players being more consistent
WTA
Ons Jabeur spoke about why she thinks that the ATP players are seen as more consistent during the 2022 US Open.
Over the years, the players on the men's Tour have been seen as the more consistent. Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, and Rafael Nadal have appeared in the finals of tournaments almost every week, which made the ATP Tour look much more consistent than the WTA Tour.
On the other hand, Serena Williams was probably the only player who consistently challenged for major titles on the women's side of the sport in recent years.
The dominance of the Big Three on the men's Tour is one of the reasons why they've been seen as more consistent, at least according to Ons Jabeur, who spoke about the topic at the 2022 US Open.
"I think we are just trying to manage and learn how to be more and more consistent. It's tough to play a lot of tournaments. I feel like, I don't know, I feel like the difference between men and women is like before, didn't happen before, but they had Federer, Djokovic, and Nadal. I think maybe now we are going to see like more players coming up."
At the moment, Jabeur is one of the consistent players. In 2022, only she and Iga Swiatek reached two major finals, and the Tunisian will want to continue in a similar trend also in the following seasons.
"Before, we just had Serena, you know. Serena cannot play all the tournaments, and she was pretty consistent. That really inspired a lot of players. Yeah, definitely it is better for us to be consistent and do great results."
"We are trying to do that. Iga did inspire us with her winning streak, and we are going to continue fighting. Honestly, I just love how every player is fighting every week and how they are trying to do the best they can."
