Vondrousova vs Jabeur LIVE! Wimbledon 2023 final latest result and reaction from Centre Court

Vondrousova vs Jabeur LIVE!

Marketa Vondrousova defeated favourite Ons Jabeur in straight sets to make history as the first unseeded women’s singles champion at Wimbledon.

There have been a string of surprise slam winners in a period of flux for the women’s game but Wimbledon had been the exception until now, with Czech Vondrousova taking advantage of a nervous performance from Jabeur to claim a 6-4 6-4 victory. The irony is it comes at a time when a new big three comprising of Iga Swiatek, Aryna Sabalenka and last year’s Wimbledon winner Elena Rybakina have established themselves at the top of the game.

After receiving the trophy, Vondrousova said: “I don’t know what’s happening now. Ons, congratulations, you’re such an inspiration for all of us, I hope you are going to win one day. After everything I’ve been through - I had a cast on this time last year - and now I can’t believe I’m holding this trophy.”
