Tunisian tennis player Uns Jabour, the 10th player on the WTA list, announced that she will not participate in the Olympic Games in Paris.
In her message published on social networks, she stated that she is missing the OI in order to recover as well as possible from her knee injury for the rest of the season.
"After consulting with the medical team regarding participation in the Paris Olympics, we concluded that a quick change of surface and the necessary adaptation would endanger my knee and the rest of the season," Jabir wrote.
At this year's Roland Garros, the courts where the Olympic tennis tournament will also be held, Žabur was defeated by the American Koko Goff in the quarterfinals.
"I always wanted to represent my country in any competition, but I have to listen to my body," added Žabur.
In 2023, she had to undergo surgery on her right knee.
