Overview
- Jabeur said in November 2026 that she is targeting a return to the WTA Tour in 2027 and that she is “definitely coming back.”
- She has not played since retiring from her first-round match at Wimbledon in June 2025 and has not named a specific tournament or date for her comeback.
- Jabeur gave birth to her son Elyan in April 2026 and says her body has changed after delivery, so she plans a slow, staged rebuilding of fitness while training with her child present.
- Off court she opened a tennis academy in Dubai in late 2025 and in November 2026 signed a partnership with Special Olympics UAE to help identify and train players with developmental disabilities.
- Jabeur has repeated her public criticism that the WTA schedule is too demanding and says she hopes to play a few more years before retiring, which suggests she may select events selectively rather than compete constantly.
