Three-time Grand Slam finalist Ons Jabeur has officially opened the doors to her first-ever tennis academy, marking a significant new venture away from the competitive courts. The “Ons Jabeur Tennis Academy” has launched in Dubai in partnership with Emirati investment firm Capital H.
A Legacy Project for Future Generations
The academy represents a deeply personal project for Jabeur, who has long expressed a desire to inspire the next generation, particularly in the Middle East and North Africa. In a social media announcement, the Tunisian star framed it as a hub for development:
“A new chapter begins. The OJ Tennis Academy officially opens in Dubai, a place designed for progress, ambition, and world-class training. From young athletes to amateur players, this is where the adventure starts.”

Timing and Vision
The launch coincides with a pivotal period in Jabeur’s life. The 31-year-old has been away from the WTA Tour since the summer and recently announced she is expecting her first child in April 2026.
Rather than stepping back, she is channeling her influence into building a lasting institution. The academy’s mission is to provide world-class coaching and facilities, aiming to nurture talent from introductory levels to professional aspirations.
Why This Matters
| Aspect | Impact |
|---|---|
| Regional Inspiration | Provides a high-performance pathway for young athletes in the Middle East & North Africa. |
| Post-Career Legacy | Establishes Jabeur’s lasting footprint in the sport beyond her playing days. |
| Grassroots Development | Caters to both aspiring pros and amateur players, growing the game at all levels. |
Jabeur, currently ranked World No. 261 during her break, has always been more than just a player; she’s a trailblazer. By investing in the future of tennis in Dubai, she is ensuring her influence continues to shape the sport, offering opportunity and structure where her own journey once lacked it.
Fans can now watch as Jabeur builds a new kind of legacy—one defined not only by trophies, but by the players and dreams she helps cultivate from the ground up.
