Ons Jabeur signs with Naomi Osaka’s Evolve

World No 2 Ons Jabeur has signed with Evolve, Naomi Osaka’s sports agency.

Osaka, a four-time Grand Slam champion, co-founded Evolve last year along with her long-time agent Stuart Duguid.

In June, Nick Kyrgios signed with Evolve.

Now, Osaka’s sports agency is set to represent another major tennis name.

ā€œI am very excited to work with Adel and Evolve. Together, I believe they have the profile and experience to take me to the next level,” Jabeur said in a statement.

Evolve thrilled to have Jabeur on board

Last year, 28-year-old Jabeur made two Grand Slam finals and wrote tennis history in the process as she became the first Arab woman to reach a Major final.

In 2023, Jabeur is hoping to go a step further and become the first Arab ever to win a Grand Slam.

ā€œOns is an ideal Evolve client. As an Arab woman from Africa, she is a trailblazer and a truly captivating tennis player. Her influence extends beyond sports and into wider culture. Her impact on the Middle East and beyond is transformative,” Duguid said in a statement.

Many believe that Jabeur’s success will lead to more African and Arab kids picking up a tennis racket to play the game.

Also, Jabeur is someone who has a good reputation and is considered as a great role model to kids.

With that being said, Evolve is thrilled to represent someone like Jabeur.

ā€œThere are tremendous opportunities for Ons in the Arab world, and she is also poised for global breakthrough. Alongside Nick Kyrgios, I believe she will be a standout star in the Netflix series, Break Point,” Stuart added in his statement.

Meanwhile, Jabeur kicked off her 2023 season at the Adelaide International.

Jabeur, who is the top-seeded player in Adelaide, had a first-round bye before defeating Sorana Cirstea 7-6 (3) 6-1.

Jabeur would certainly love to start her season with a title.
