Ons Jabeur plays Marketa Vondrousova in the Wimbledon women’s final

WIMBLEDON, England –

Ons Jabeur or Marketa Vondrousova become Grand Slam champions for the first time when they play against each other in the Wimbledon women’s final.

They go into Saturday’s title game with a combined record of 0-3 in Grand Finals.

No. 6 seed Jabeur, a 28-year-old from Tunisia, finished second at the All England Club and at the US Open last season.

She is the only Arab woman or North African woman to compete in a Grand Slam final.

Unseeded Vondrousova, a 24-year-old from the Czech Republic, lost the 2019 French Open final as a teenager.

She is the first unseeded finalist at Wimbledon since Billie Jean King in 1963.
