The Tunisian on the field to become the first Arab tennis player to win a Grand Slam

History is being made today, Saturday 15 July, in Wimbledon women’s final (scheduled at 3 pm). Whoever wins between the Tunisian Ons Jabeur and the Czech Marketa Vondrousova, the tennis world will have an unprecedented Grand Slam winner. Not only. Ons would become the first African and Arab tennis player to capture one of the four majors, while the Czech would become the first unseeded Wimbledon champion. And to have the honor of this historic award ceremony will be Princess Kate, who will avoid having to deliver the victory plate to a Russian or a Belarusian: with the elimination of Aryna Sabalenka, in the semifinals, the Wimbledon godmother avoided the embarrassment.

The wonderful journey of the two finalists remains. Jabeur eliminated the defending champion, Elena Rybakina (who had beaten her last year in the final), and the favorite of the tournament, Aryna Sabalenka. In Tunisia she is already a legend and it is no coincidence that the Post Office of her country has already dedicated a celebratory stamp to her.

Vondrousova was the finalist at Roland Garros in 2019, today number 42 in the world but if she wins the final she would rise to number 10. Before her they won at Wimledon from the Czech Republic Martina Navratilova (the first two, in 1978 and 1979, if won under the Czech flag), Jana Novotna and (twice, most recently in 2014) Petra Kvitova. The live television entrusted to Sky Sport, which follows Wimbledon 2023 across Sky Sports Summer (201), Sky Sports Arena (204) and Sky Sports Tennis (205). Wimbledon can be streamed on Now TV.
