Champion on ‘crazy’ victory after her grass-court strugglesOns Jabeur reflects on pain of going ‘back to square one’
Marketa Vondrousova says she started Wimbledon this year thinking that it would be the most impossible grand slam tournament to win. She has instead left it with her first major title after closing off a brilliant fortnight with victory.
On Saturday, Vondrousova defeated Ons Jabeur, the sixth seed, 6-4, 6-4 to win her first grand slam title at Wimbledon. The Czech, ranked world No 42, is the first unseeded women to win Wimbledon in the Open era. She missed the tournament last year after undergoing wrist surgery that required a six- month layoff.
