Minister of Happiness Ons Jabeur calls on the regent Iga Swiatek: Women whose horizons do not end at the edge of the net.
Tunisian Ons Jabeur wants to be a role model for women in Africa and the Arab world. Poland's Iga Swiatek raises money for war victims despite being only 21 years old. Now they are playing for the US Open title.
A certain arbitrariness characterized women's tennis for a long time - winners came and went. Until this year, when Poland's enthroned herself as the new regent with a series of victories. On April 4, the 21-year-old took over the top spot from Australian Ashleigh Barty, who had announced her retirement after her victory in Melbourne.

Swiatek didn't just inherit the spot, and she earned it impressively. After losing in the Australian Open semifinals at the end of January, she won 37 straight matches, including tournaments in Doha, Indian Wells, Miami, Stuttgart, Rome, and, for the second time since 2020, the French Open in Paris. The unbeaten streak ended only after 156 days - or more than five months - in the third round of Wimbledon.
Working with a psychologist as a means to success
In New York, Swiatek showed a quality that has rarely been in demand in recent months: that of a fighter. She won both the round of 16 against Germany's Jule Niemeier and the semifinal against Belarus' Arina Sabalenka after losing the first set. One of the secrets? Working with a psychologist. Swiatek says, "I used to panic when things went badly. Now it's easier for me to think logically about what I can change." That's bad news for the competition.
Final opponent Jabeur: "Knows how I have to play"
On Saturday, Ons Jabeur will try her hand at the task. The 28-year-old dropped just one set on her way to the final. She hit eight aces in a 6-1, 6-3 win over France's Garcia. A number that is rare in women's tennis. Perhaps Jabeur, who is known in Tunisia as the "Minister of Happiness" because of her winning nature, had been inspired by Andy Roddick. Before the semifinals, she met the last U.S. winner of a men's major tournament (US Open 2003).
Jabeur said she had the feeling that she knew how to beat Swiatek. Not without reason: she has won two of the four duels so far. Naturally, the woman with the creative and unconventional style of play did not want to reveal her recipe for success.
Jabeur: "Wants to inspire young women"
Jabeur and Swiatek are also two sportswomen whose horizons do not end at the edge of the net and who fascinate beyond the boundaries of tennis. Jabeur says, "I have always dreamed of playing at this level. But it's at least as important to me that I inspire young women and men in my home country and across the continent to believe in their dreams."
And Swiatek, whose home country of Poland has taken in a particularly large number of refugees from Ukraine, organized a benefit match in Krakow for children and young people affected by the war, raising half a million francs. Regent Swiatek and Minister Jabeur ensure that women's tennis is in good hands. On and off the court.
