Overview
- Jabeur shared the news in an Instagram video with husband Karim Kamoun, writing that "the court will have to wait a little longer" as they welcome their "tiniest teammate."
- The announcement prolongs the competitive break she began in July 2025 to reset after injury setbacks and difficulty finding joy on court.
- She has emphasized that the pause is not a retirement and has said she intends to return to competition after giving birth.
- Fellow players, including Maria Sakkari, Daria Kasatkina, Caroline Wozniacki and Karolína Muchová, joined the official Wimbledon account in offering congratulations.
- Jabeur had previously linked starting a family to winning a Major, and her defeats in the 2022 US Open final and the 2022 and 2023 Wimbledon finals influenced the timing of that decision.
