Three-time Grand Slam finalist Ons Jabeur has confirmed she is training for a return to professional tennis after stepping away from the sport to become a mother.
The Tunisian star welcomed her son, Elyan, in April and says she is now working her way back to match fitness - though she has stopped short of naming a specific tournament or date for her comeback.
Jabeur, who admitted she had not felt happy on court for some time before her break, has been candid about the physical toll of pregnancy and childbirth. Her body has changed, she acknowledged, and she intends to ease back into competition rather than rush the process.
It is a path trodden by several high-profile players before her, and Jabeur appears to be drawing motivation from their example.
The plan, loosely, is to rejoin the WTA Tour at some stage next year. Jabeur, who will turn 33 next August, has suggested she wants several more years on the circuit before hanging up her racquet for good.
With five WTA titles and three major finals on her CV, she remains one of the most accomplished players of her generation. Whether motherhood provides the spark that was missing remains to be seen - but the early signs suggest a player with renewed hunger.
