Madison Keys, Ons Jabeur returning to WTA Tour in 2027
Fans are ecstatic that Keys and Jabeur will be back.
Professional tennis players Madison Keys, 31, and Ons Jabeur, 32, are set to return to the WTA Tour in 2027. Keys' season came to a close after a disheartening loss to Qinwen Zheng at the 2026 US Open. At the 2026 WTA Finals, Keys transitioned successfully into media roles with Sky Sports and Tennis Channel, sparking speculation about her retirement. She recently confirmed her return to the tour.
Jabeur, who has been on maternity leave, plans to make her comeback in 2027 as well. She gave birth to her son, Elyan, on April 20, 2026, and was absent from the tour since Wimbledon 2025. The three-time Grand Slam finalist admitted that her body has changed post-childbirth, but she remains optimistic about her return. Jabeur is part of a growing number of WTA players balancing tennis and parenthood, including Belinda Bencic, Naomi Osaka, Elina Svitolina, and Taylor Townsend.
