The unlikely victor stunned, the clear favorite by both oddsmakers and fans, in the final and became the first unseeded player to woman to win the title at the All England Club behind her steely and steady performance.
As Bouzas Maneiro sobbed and held her head in her hands, a stunned Vondrousova quickly packed up her bag and made her way off of the court.
"I don't think that was the reason. I felt nervous from the start," Vondrousova said."I mean, she was also playing a good match. That was kind of tough, too. Yeah, overall it was very tough. ... I feel like everybody just expects you to win maybe. That's tough, too. I was happy to be back on the Centre Court. It just didn't go as planned today."
