Marketa Vondrousova is Wimbledon’s first unseeded female champion after beating Ons Jabeur

Associated Press  

WIMBLEDON, England — Marketa Vondrousova came to the All England Club a year ago unable to play tennis at all. Vondrousova became the first unseeded woman to win Wimbledon on Saturday, coming back in each set for a 6-4, 6-4 victory over 2022 runner-up Ons Jabeur in the final. “When I was coming back, I didn’t know what’s going to happen, if I can play at that level again,” said Vondrousova, a 24-year-old left-hander from the Czech Republic who was the runner-up at the 2019 French Open on clay as a teenager and a silver medalist at the Tokyo Olympics on hard courts two years ago. I love it.” Centre Court’s retractable roof was closed for the final, shielding everyone from the wind that topped 20 mph outside, and that allowed Vondrousova’s smooth strokes to repeatedly find the intended mark. “I was like, ‘Yeah, maybe that’s going to help me.’” On this afternoon, she trailed in each set but collected the last four games of the first, then the last three games of the second as Jabeur fell to 0-3 in major finals.
