  • Ons Jabeur has been one of the top-ranked women's tennis players on the planet for several years.
  • The Tunisian star, known as the "Minister of Happiness," is one of the friendliest players on tour.

Ons Jabeur is one of the best tennis players on the planet.

She's also reportedly one of the nicest.

The Tunisian superstar began the 2023 US Open as the fifth-ranked player in the Women's Tennis Association (WTA). Though she's regularly found success on her sport's biggest stages, Jabeur is still seeking her first Grand Slam title — and she's one of the favorites to do it in New York City.

Get to know the 29-year-old known to many as the "Minister of Happiness" thanks to her cheerful personality:
