The unseeded 24-year-old Czech, who had been in the Roland Garros final a few years ago, ruined Ons Jabeur’s historic victory with an unchallenged 6:4,6:4 success in London . After their third major final, Jabeur still has to wait to win the first Grand Slam title ever for Africa.

Jabeur got off to a better start with a break to make it 2-0, but conceded the break to make it 2-1 himself. The Tunisian was also unable to take advantage of a 4:2 lead. When Vondrousova took the serve from the favorite to make it 5:4, the Czech didn’t let that lead be stolen from her. After 40 minutes she converted the 2: 4 into a 6: 4.

Also in the second round there were breaks on both sides. In the first five games, only Jabeur managed to serve, but she couldn’t maintain a 3-1 lead. After that, the serve continued into the ninth game, the left-hander from Prague took the serve from Jabeur to make it 5:4 and then used the second match ball after 80 minutes.
