Javert has played just 11 matches since reaching the quarter-finals of Roland Garros in June, recording a record of six wins and five losses in that period.
“This has been a very difficult year for me and as athletes we know that recovery is part of the journey,” Jabeur said in a social media post. “Due to my shoulder injury, my medical team and I have made the difficult decision to step away from the tennis circuit until the end of the season.
“While I am taking time to recover, I will dedicate myself to charity work and work to ensure that we can make a real difference in the world.”
