World No. 23 Elena Rybakina has been crowned Wimbledon champion after defeating Ons Jabeur 3-6, 6-2, 6-2 on Centre Court.
History would have been made at SW19 regardless of which finalist emerged triumphant. A win for Jabeur would have made her the sport's first Arab Grand Slam winner, but Moscow-born Rybakina's victory means she's the first Kazakhstani representative to lift one of the four majors.
And after recovering from a fairly one-sided opening set, the result rarely appeared to be outside the 23-year-old's grasp. Rybakina's six-foot frame and athleticism troubled the likes of Simona Halep and Ajla Tomljanovic en route to the final, but Jabeur made a statement of intent with an early break.
