Tunisian tennis player Ons Jabeur announced that she will be represented by Evolve, a management agency owned by Naomi Osaka. Jabeur, who is currently ranked world number 2, reached the finals at Wimbledon and US Open in 2022.

Ons Jabeur has been a trailblazer for Africa and the Arab world. She is the highest-ranked African and Arab player in tennis history – both men and women. As a junior, she won the Roland Garros singles title in 2011 becoming the first North African woman to win a junior grand slam title. 

Jabeur will be represented by agent Adel Aref. Speaking of the partnership, Aref said:

Ons is family and her interest is my first priority. I am confident that the partnership with Evolve and creating synergies between Stuart and us will take Ons to the next level and beyond. Like I always say: stronger together.

In addition to representing Naomi Osaka, Evolve represents Nick Kyrgios. Evolve was founded by Osaka with her former IMG agent Stuart Duguid with an eye on taking full control of her business interests.

Andrey Rublev, Borna Coric, and Elina Svitolina have signed up with the management agency Kosmos Management. New Year is typically the time when players change sponsors and management.

Coric was previously with LJ Sports Group, a talent agency run by former top 10 pro Ivan Ljubicic. Rublev was represented by IMG since his junior tennis days. Svitolina was previously represented by Top Five management.

Komos Management represents Dominic Thiem and Daria Kasatkina. Kosmos Management is part of the bigger company that also owns the Davis Cup competition.

After struggling with injuries for a few years, Coric returned to top form in 2022 winning the Cincinnati Open title – his first Masters win. He finished the year ranked world number 26.

Elina Svitolina, who is married to tennis player Gael Monfils,  is on maternity break. In October 2022, she welcomed a baby girl. She is expected to return to competition.
