Markéta Vondroušová collapsed onto the court of the All England Club as soon as she beat Ons Jabeur in the Wimbledon final. It was a moment of pure disbelief for the unseeded 24-year-old from Czechia after she took down the No. 6 Tunisian.
Markéta Vondroušová is the first Czech Wimbledon winner since 2014.
Vondroušová, who watched Wimbledon as a spectator a year ago, rallied to win both sets in the 6-4, 6-4 victory over Jabeur. She is the first unseeded woman to win Wimbledon and the third Czech woman.Everything started out well for the sixth-seeded Jabeur, who jumped out to a 4-2 lead in the first. But 17 unforced errors by the Tunisian allowed Vondroušová to overcome the deficit and take the one-set lead.
Vondroušová won back-to-back games to draw even with Jabeur, then another to go up 5-4 before one final game for the title. Finally, she cruised almost perfectly toward victory in the final game to become the first Czech women's singles Wimbledon winner since Petra Kvitová in 2014.
