Never get tired and do hard work to reach your dreams. Q. What is your favorite match or moment in your career? How did you feel after that? ONS JABEUR: Maybe last year, I would say it was a tournament actually in Moscow. I played really good and I felt really good.

I was really proud of myself. Q. How often do you practice? ONS JABEUR: Per day, like, around five to six hours. Every day till probably Saturday. I take some time off on Saturday afternoon and Sunday off. I'm allowed, right (smiling)? Q. What is your favorite song? ONS JABEUR: Hmm. Now? My favorite song? Let me check my phone.
