Talk:Ons Jabeur

Untitled
The total prize money of $236.000 does not correspond to the total prize won according to the list of tournaments Ons Jabeur has won. Make a basic calculation and one can find out that the sum won on these tournaments(if the list is accurate of course) exceeds the total prize money by a large margin. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.106.186.250 (talk) 18:45, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Jabeur ethnicity
Many articles write that Ons Jabeur is an Arab tennis player. I don’t believe Tunisians are Arabs but rather ethnically Berbers. Nor is Tunisia part of the Middle East but rather North Africa. There seems to me to be a confusion between being Muslim and being Arabic. Can anyone clarify this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.172.183.139 (talk) 16:12, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

error
in quick facts Grand Slam singles results, she is noted as having won ("W") the 2022 Wimbledon. But that match has just begun. 68.194.123.196 (talk) 13:09, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

Photos - some were quite poor and un-needed
Some of the pics being put up are really bad and don't enhance the article with info. We don't need extra pics with her husband or off balance shots from years ago. We want a forehand, backhand, serve, and net volley. Perhaps a trophy or championship pose. Maybe one or two others if they are really sensational and never more than 10. If we find a better pic we replace an old pic we don't just keep adding because we can. Please be a little more frugal and specific in future additions.

Errors
In the introducing part, you have written that she is the first African and Arab woman who has reached Grand slam QF, and the first one who won Wta title, which is not correct, as Amanda Coetzer did that in 90s. So, she is the first Arab woman, not African, to have done that. Cara Black also has won 1 Wta title in singles. 93.137.69.199 (talk) 15:34, 9 September 2022 (UTC)

 * As of July 2023 the article still says ‘At the 2020 Australian Open, Jabeur became the first African or Arab woman to reach a major quarterfinal’, which is still incorrect as per the original error. 2A01:4B00:9002:E400:25E0:C2AB:1FDF:FF41 (talk) 13:41, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
 * It doesn't "still" say it. It was properly removed but at some point later it was erroneously re-added. Fyunck(click) (talk) 18:40, 15 July 2023 (UTC)

Name pronunciation and latin spelling
I am confused. Article says pronunciation is "Uns Džábir". At this site: https://www.wtatennis.com/players/316847/ons-jabeur we can play audio where we can hear how she pronounce her name herself. She says "Ons Žabér". I know that Tunisia was French colony and it sounds to me like she is French ethnic, not Arab. And why article name (Ons Jabeur) differs from latin transcription stated in article (Uns Jābir)? Nadsenec2 (talk) 09:58, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

Before seeing your reply I added in Jabeur’s personal pronunciation as a footnote. Note that the audio clip has her pronouncing her name in English, though obviously in the French style and not the Arabic.

Keep in mind also that players/people can alter their pronunciation based on the language – compare the audio on Jean-Julien Rojer’s ATP player profile to how he pronounces his name in Dutch interviews.

Overall it does seem that Jabeur identifies more with the French culture, at least as far as her name is concerned, but it’s still not apparent which ethnicity she belongs to. I don’t think the two are especially distinct in modern Tunisia, and she obviously speaks Arabic, French and English. Rovingrobert (talk) 04:34, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

First Muslim to reach a major final claim
Marat Safin won the 2000 US open and.is Muslim 82.2.91.195 (talk) 22:31, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

First African player claim
I believe the first paragraph should state that Jabeur was the first North African player, male or female, to reach a major singles final. Currently neglects Kevin Anderson (South African, reached two GS finals). 192.234.2.18 (talk) 17:10, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

 * An Egyptian male won Wimbledon and French championships in the past. We aren't talking ethnicity, but a player representing Egypt. That's North Africa. And Marat Safin was Muslim and won two titles. Fyunck(click) (talk) 19:59, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

Prize money
The prize won should be changed to over 11 million after Ons reached Wimbledon 2023. 1.40.185.117 (talk) 02:20, 17 July 2023 (UTC)


 * this page is not updating. After round 16 the prize should be changed. 120.18.154.175 (talk) 01:30, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
