An emotional Ons Jabeur said she would donate part of her WTA Finals prize money to Palestinians after avenging her Wimbledon final defeat to Marketa Vondrousova on Wednesday, Nov. 1.
CANCUN -- After earning her first win of the week at the season-ending championships in Cancun, Tunisia's Jabeur choked back tears as she spoke on court.
"The situation in the world doesn't make me happy," Jabeur added as she broke down in tears, before composing herself enough to talk about the Israel-Hamas conflict."It's heartbreaking, so I've decided to donate part of my prize money to help the Palestinians. "I'm sorry -- it's not a political message, it's just humanity. I want peace in this world and that's it."
