Czech Marketa Vondrousova denied Tunisian star Anas Jaber, ranked sixth in the world, from achieving a historic achievement and defeated her 6-4, 6-4 on Saturday in the final of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships.
The defeat in today’s match was a painful blow to Anas Jaber, who was hoping to achieve a historic achievement by becoming the first Arab and African player to be crowned in one of the four major “Grand Slam” tournaments.
Today, Anas Jaber competed in her third Grand Slam final, where she reached the Wimbledon final last year, but lost to Kazakh Elena Rybakina. She also qualified for the US Open final (Flushing Meadows) about two months later, losing to Poland’s Iga Chivontec.
As for Vondrousova, ranked 42nd in the world, she won her first Grand Slam title today, through her second Grand Slam final, where she lost to Australian Ashleigh Barty in the final of the French Open (Roland Garros) in 2019.
