Moroccan Tennis player Aya El Aouni explained drawing inspiration from Tunisian star Ons Jabeur ahead of the highly anticipated Olympic season.

In a compelling and exclusive interview with the Olympic Games, El Aouni, revealed the profound impact that the success of Tunisian tennis sensation Ons Jabeur has had on her own career trajectory. 

With the Olympic Games looming on the horizon, El Aouni eagerly shared her aspirations for this momentous event, fueled by the inspiration she derives from Jabeur’s remarkable journey.

The transformative influence of Ons Jabeur’s achievements has reverberated throughout the tennis world and El Aouni’s as well. 

Countless aspiring young girls have been captivated by Jabeur’s accomplishments, finding hope and determination to pursue their own dreams of grasping a racquet and making their mark on the sport’s international scene.

As the Olympic season approaches, Aya El Aouni stands vows to follow in the footsteps of her Tunisian counterpart, eager to seize this opportunity and showcase her talent on a global scale.

“She did have a positive effect on us, that we can do it, it’s not too far,” El Anouni told Olympics. Coming from a family of athletes, she always dreamt of playing pro.

Her family paved her path, “I started playing tennis when I was five, and I grew up in a family of tennis. In my family they played tennis but only in national tournaments in Morocco. My dad is a coach. My uncle is a tennis coach,” she explained.

After participating in her first major competition in 2018, she won her first Junior Singles championship at an ITF competition in Algeria. Like many other African tennis players at the time, El Aouni made gradual development.

The Olympics piece put a particular emphasis on how Ons Jabeur’s rise is changing the tennis scene in Africa. 

Last month, El Aouni alongside other Moroccan female tennis players won the continental cup in Kenya, taking the trophy of the 60th edition of the Billie Jean King Cup in Nairobi.
