Elena Rybakina captured her first Grand
Slam title with a three-set victory over Ons Jabeur in the 2022
Wimbledon women’s final Saturday at the All England Club in London.
Jabeur won the first set in the battle
of first-time major finalists, but Rybakina used her superior power
to complete the comeback on the strength of 22 winners over the final
two sets. Her third-seeded counterpart finished with 17 winners in the whole match.
The 23-year-old Kazakh entered the tournament as the No. 17 seed and had never advanced
beyond the quarterfinals in 11 prior Grand Slam appearances.
