World No. 10 Ons Jabeur took part in the 2022 Eisenhower Cup on Stadium 2 on Tuesday, and while she wasn’t able to claim the victory on-court, she thrilled the crowds by turning into a part-time photographer to help capture the moment.

Speaking of surprising champions who were catapulted into superstardom on the backs of a performance in Tennis Paradise, 2018 tournament champion Naomi Osaka is back in the desert after missing the tournament’s first-ever fall edition last October. The former World No. 1 has already made her presence known, participating in the 2022 Eisenhower Cup as well as bringing her adorable dog Butta along for the ride.
