Markéta Vondroušová becomes the first unseeded woman in the Open Era to win Wimbledon after beating Tunisia's Ons Jabeur in straight sets
Markéta Vondroušová had overcome the odds throughout the last fortnight at Wimbledon and the Czech did so again in the women’s final on Saturday, beating favorite Ons Jabeur to become the first unseeded woman in the Open Era to win the famous tournament. The world No. 42, who was playing in her first grand slam final, beat the No. 6 seed 6-4 6-4 on Centre Court to make history.
But Jabeur became the fifth seeded player to fall to the 24-year-old in this tournament as her unpredictability proved difficult for her opponents to overcome, with the Tunisian particularly struggling despite having numerous opportunities to take control of the match.
