Welcome to Tennis Insider Club.
I am Morja Duran and here is where tennis stories and life conversations intersect.
Join us as we uncover the untold personal journeys of the icons of the court.
From laughter to life lessons, it's all here.
Now here's what's coming up.
Today.
You cannot say you want to win Grand Slams and not have any pressure.
Before, I couldn't even win rounds in the Grand Slam.
Now I can be in the second week.
Now I can be in the finals and hopefully the next step will be to win a Grand Slam.
Just a couple of days before her first match at the Australian Open,
I had the chance to sit down for a quick conversation with Ons Javer,
the highest ever ranked African player in the WTA NATP history.
I had a chance to ask her about her journey from playing in hotels as a kid to becoming one of the best of this sport and arriving to the final three of the last Grand Slam.
Something that is truly impressive.
And also we managed to get a bit personal and explore a bit more about how it is to work with your husband in such a demanding and roller coaster job.
I'm very grateful that ONS gave us some of her time just before her first round,
and we hope you enjoy knowing more the person behind the icon.
Okay, so, Ons, thank you very much for agreeing on this.
I'm a big fan, so I'm super excited.
