Ons Jabeur is a proper trailblazer as the Tunisian became the first Arab woman to do most of the big things such as winning an event, ranking inside the top 10 etc.
Jabeur's career was not an overnight success but a long journey of a lot of hard work and practice. Despite being a natural talent, Jabeur took a long time to develop all the necessary skills to become one of the best tennis players in the world. She's also one of the fan favourites due to her unique playstyle which is a stark difference from how most WTA players play.
She's a sporting hero in her home country of Tunisia as well as a role model for many women. To honour Jabeur and other women in the country the postal service of the country unveiled 22 national stamps. The stamps honour 22 women in the country that have contributed immensely to its society.
Some of the others included are Fatma Haddad, the first Tunisian woman to hold a state doctorate in philosophy, and the Berber queen Kahina, who lead an indigenous resistance against invaders in 7th century North Africa.
