"The Lion of Judah" watched both doubles and singles on Thursday evening and was present to support Tunisian tennis star, Ons Jabeur in her straight-sets win over US player, Sophia Kenin. 

Now ranked 35th in the WTA standings, the two-time Wimbledon singles finalist had a career-high ranking of world number 2022, which made her the highest-ranked African and Arab tennis player in WTA and ATP rankings history. 

Like Jabeur, Tau would be desperate to rediscover his form from a couple of seasons ago during his time at Al Ahly and this fresh start in Qatar, the winger hopes to re-enter Hugo Broos' plans this year ahead of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco this December.
