Jabeur continued her winning streak in 2022, walking away with the Mubadala World Tennis Championship (MWTC) trophy for the second time in a row. The Tunisian tennis player made history in 2021 when she became the first Arab to participate in and win the MWTC and when she played in a Wimbledon quarter-final, again the first Arab to do so. Moreover, she is the first Arab and African woman to reach a Slam final in 2022. Jabeur is credited with paving the way for establishing the Jasmin Open in Tunisia after a chance conversation with IMG Tennis Events’ director in Abu Dhabi.
