Vondrousova became the first unseeded woman to win Wimbledon on Saturday in her victory over 2022 runner-up Ons Jabeur in the final.
Czech Republic's Marketa Vondrousova celebrates with the trophy after winning her final match against Tunisia’s Ons Jabeur.Marketa Vondrousova came to the All England Club a year ago unable to play tennis at all. She had a cast on her surgically repaired left wrist, so her visit was limited to sightseeing around London with her sister and cheering for a friend who was competing at Wimbledon.
Following the match, King greeted Vondrousova with a hug and told her: "First unseeded ever. I love it." Jabeur dropped to 0-3 in major finals. The 28-year-old from Tunisia is the only Arab woman and only North African woman to make it that far in singles at any Grand Slam tournament. During the break between sets, Jabeur headed to the locker room. When she came back out, she immediately made another error, and the spectators made a ton of noise to show their support. Another miscue gave Vondrousova a break point, and Jabeur gifted that with yet another shot into the net. The match was 45 minutes old, and Vondrousova led by a set and a break.
