Markéta Vondroušová and Ons Jabeur will meet in the women’s Wimbledon final on Saturday with both aiming to win their maiden grand slam title
Vondroušová beat Ukrainian Elina Svitolina in straight sets to reach her first Wimbledon final whilst Jabeur reached her second straight final at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club with a thrilling victory over No. 2 seed Aryna Sabalenka. Vondroušová would become the first unseeded woman in the Open Era to win Wimbledon if she is victorious, while Jabeur would become the first Arab and North African woman to win a grand slam if she is triumphant.
With her spot in the final booked, she says that she’s had to make some calls to allow her husband – who was at home looking after Frankie – and her sister to come and watch her. n “We texted the cat sitter to come to our home. He’s coming tomorrow,” said Vondroušová on Thursday. Learning Jabeur has been here before. Just 12 months ago, the Tunisian lost in three sets to Elena Rybakina in the Wimbledon final.
