Sixth-ranked Tunisian Jabeur rallied from a set and 4-2 behind to upset Belarus’ Aryna Sabalenka 6-7 (5/7), 6-4, 6-3, and advance to her second straight tournament final. On the other hand, with a convincing 6-3, 6-3 victory, Czech left-hander Vondrousova ruined Elina Svitolina’s hopes of winning a Grand Slam title for Ukraine and became the first unseeded player to reach the championship match in 60 years.
Who is Marketa Vondrousova?
Czech Republic native Vondrousova, born on born 28 June 1999, hails from a sporty family; her mother is a professional volleyball player and her grandfather was a national pentathlon winner. The 24-year-old achieved success in her junior career, peaking at No. 1, then established herself on the senior circuit by making the French Open final at age 19.
However, she had previously experienced setbacks due to injury, making her trip to the Wimbledon final all the more impressive. Her ability to bounce back from previous defeats is demonstrated by the fact that this is the closest she has ever come to playing in her second Grand Slam final.
Even though Vondrousova’s triumph at Wimbledon may have surprised some people, she has already shown her talent on the professional level. On the WTA Tour, she has made it to four finals and one singles championship. She also won a silver medal at the Olympics in Tokyo in 2021.
She is a former junior world number one and she has clinched two considerable doubles championships. Her WTA Tour debut came early, and she won the 2017 Ladies Open Biel Bienne at age 17 in just her second WTA singles match. She was able to do this before turning 18 and climb to the top 100 of the WTA rankings.
