The 27-year-old had a stunning 2021, making history as she became the first Arab woman to win a WTA title after her win at the Birmingham Classic.
She also reached the quarter-finals of Wimbledon. After the withdrawal of Emma Raducanu from the 2021 Mubadala World Tennis Championship, Jabeur was given her place and won the tournament, defeating Belinda Bencic, 4–6, 6–3, [10–8] in the final.

Match Prediction- Jabeur to win in 3 sets.
