Wimbledon 2022: Ons Jabeur column on playing with Serena Williams
Live across BBC TV, radio and online with extensive coverage on BBC iPlayer, Red Button, Connected TVs and mobile app.
Playing with Serena Williams in the doubles at Eastbourne last week was an unbelievable experience and one which gives me added confidence as I try my best to win my first Grand Slam title at Wimbledon.I always had the dream of practising or playing against Serena but I never imagined the fact I could play doubles with her and be on the same side of the court.
We're not playing the doubles together at Wimbledon because we're focused on singles, but I did practise with her at the All England Club on Saturday. I, for sure, didn't want to play her in the first round. You don't want to play Serena, especially at Wimbledon. I was like a sparring partner - I was trying not to miss a ball and to impress her. It was really cool.But the fact I can handle my nerves and felt natural being with her and speaking to her was amazing.A lot of the players messaged me about the doubles partnership - which we called 'Onsrena'.'I've already invited Serena to visit Tunisia'I told some of the closest people to me, family and one good friend, but it had to be a secret.
