Ons Jabeur, battling injuries and unhappy on the court, taking a hiatus from women's tennis
Ons Jabeur is taking a hiatus from the women's tennis tour, with the three-time major runner-up saying Thursday she wants to 'rediscover the joy of simply living.' Once ranked No. 2 on the WTA Tour, Jabeur has battled injuries in recent years and has fallen to her current No. 71. The 30-year-old from Tunisia retired because of difficulty breathing during her first-round match at Wimbledon, where she reached the final in 2022 and 2023, and won't be playing as the hard-court swing begins. 'For the past two years, I've been pushing myself so hard, fighting through injuries and facing many other challenges,' Jabeur wrote on Instagram. "But deep down, I haven't felt truly happy on the court for some time now. 'Tennis is such a beautiful sport. But right now, I feel it's time to take a step back and finally put myself first: to breathe, to heal, and to rediscover the joy of simply living.' Jabeur also was the U.S. Open runner-up in 2022, becoming the first woman since Serena Williams in 2019 to reach the final at Wimbledon and Flushing Meadows in the same year. She fell short of becoming the first African or Arab woman to win a Grand Slam title in the professional era, but she climbed to No. 2 in the WTA rankings the next week. She is 15-15 this year after her 2024 season was cut short by a shoulder injury, as she played just once after Wimbledon. Jabeur, popular with other players and fans, thanked the fans in her post. 'Even while I'm away from the court, I'll continue to stay close and connected in different ways, and share this journey with you all," she wrote. ___ AP tennis:

Ravens to sign pass rusher Mike Green to a 4-year rookie deal
Mike Green will not be a training camp holdout after signing a four-year rookie contract with the Baltimore Ravens that pays the pass rusher $9 million guaranteed Mike Green will not be a training camp holdout once he signs a four-year rookie contract with the Baltimore Ravens that could pay the pass rusher $7.5 million guaranteed. Baltimore selected the All-American pass rusher with pick No. 59, and reports are that the former Marshall star pass rusher and 29 other second-round picks were haggling over guaranteed money on the standard four-year deal. First-round picks usually have guaranteed four-year deals with a potential fifth-year option, but up until this past April, fully guaranteed contracts weren't the norm for second-round picks. That all changed when the Texans gave Jayden Higgins, the 34th overall pick, the first fully guaranteed contract ever for a second-round pick on May 8. On May 9, the Browns followed suit, offering Carson Schwesinger, the 33rd overall pick in the second round, a fully guaranteed contract as well. It was a touchy scenario for Baltimore, which had an urgent need for more explosion at the edge rusher position, so they landed the draft's most talented but questionable prospect. Last season, as a redshirt sophomore, Green led the FBS in sacks (17.0), tackles for loss (22.5), sack yardage (144), and tackles by a defensive lineman (84). His 17 sacks established a new Sun Belt Conference record.
