Ons Jabeur becomes first Arab tennis player -- male or female -- to break into the top 10 in singles
CNN
Ons Jabeur of Tunisia already was a trail blazer in her own right when she became the first Arab woman to win a WTA Tour title and advance to the quarterfinals in a grand slam event.
Now, she'll be the first Arab player -- male or female -- to reach the top 10.
On Thursday, Jabeur defeated Estonia's Anett Kontaveit 7-5, 6-3, to reach the semifinals at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells. The win guarantees her a spot in the top 10 in singles when the rankings are updated Monday.
