FORT WORTH, Texas—Tennis stars are just like us, picking up their Cheesecake Factory order on the same line we do.
At least that was the case when I ran into Ons Jabeur there after an arduous WTA Finals Media Day; should she win the title in Fort Worth, I’d expect a velvet rope to separate us in the future.
After her comeback win over Jessica Pegula, Jabeur made an even more shocking admission: though a fan of their entrees, the talented Tunisian is yet to try any of the eatery’s signature cheesecakes.
“I went there the few, few days and for now I haven’t gone,” she told me on Wednesday. “I was playing late. But maybe we can we can say thank you to Cheesecake Factory that I was eating there!
“I usually get the chicken and either mashed potatoes or spaghetti, which is really good, but big,” she adds with a wide gesture. “So, I have to run for it!”
