Ons Jabeur was delighted when a man surprised his finacee with an on-court proposal after her second round win over Alycia Parks at the 2023 Guadalajara Open.
The top seed came into the match after receiving a first round bye. She started the match with a bang and broke her opponent's opening serve before going on to win the first set.
She broke her opponent's opening serve again in the second set. Parks fought back to level the score 2-2, but still couldn't gain control as the Tunisian won the next four games to close the match 6-2, 6-2 in her favor in a little less than an hour.
Before her on-court interview, a couple came down on the court near Jabeur's seat. To everyone's surprise, the man went down on one knee and proposed to his fiance. Jabeur smiled and jumped up in joy amid loud cheering and clapping from the crowd, excited for the newly engaged couple.
After the couple kissed, Jabeur went and embraced them while giving them an autographed tennis ball. Married for eight years, Jabeur congratulated the happy couple with the words:
"Welcome to the club"
