Elena Rybakina wins the Wimbledon women’s final, her debut in a Grand Slam title match.
Rybakina used her big serve and powerful forehand to overcome the No. 2-ranked Jabeur’s varied style, with its mix of spins and slices, to put a halt to the 27-year-old Tunisian’s 12-match winning streak, which came entirely on grass courts.
Jabeur was trying to become the first Arab or African woman to win a Slam singles title in the professional era, which dates to 1968. Rybakina, who beat Serena Williams at last year’s French Open, finally earned her first break chance to begin the second set and went up 1-0 when Jabeur missed a forehand. After saving four break points over her next two service games, Rybakina broke again and soon led 5-1.
