Marketa Vondrousova defeats Ons Jabeur to be first unseeded player in the open era to lift Wimbledon title

Marketa became the first ever women's player in the open era to win the title unseeded.

This was an out-of-the-box victory by the Czech player, especially when the spectators were rooting for Jabeur to crown herself with the title after she had lost it to Elena Rybakina in last year's summit clash.

Marketa was four points away from her first slam title and she got the first with Jabeur making another error. A drop shot put her within two shots and her sister started to cry with the anticipation of her winning.

Marketa had three championship points, and she failed to get it the time of asking with a double fault, but she did it the second time.

Marketa headed to her box to celebrate with her family and friends. They embraced her as the spectators cheered on.

Marketa came back strongly to win 16 of the last 18 points, and four straight games, to pocket the opening set 6-4 after breaking Jabeur thrice.

The Czech broke Jabeur in the opening game of the second set and rattled six games in a row to put herself in the ascendancy.
