Elena Rybakina vs Ons Jabeur: What events occurred in the finals?

Jabeur had the upper hand at the outset of the match, but Kazakhstan’s 17th seed recovered and lost just four more games to win 3-6, 6-2, 6-2.
In the third game of the match, when Rybakina’s backhand ran wide, 27-year-old Jabeur broke him.

After that, she performed a hold to love and aimed a wonderful backhand pass past her rival at the net.

Rybakina was put under a lot of strain on her own serve once more as the set nearly got away from her, but she persevered to hold for a 3-2 victory.

But in the opening set, she was unable to convert a single break point on the sun-baked Centre Court, and Jabeur won the set thanks to an error-filled service game.

Jabeur gave a fist pump in jubilation, as Rybakina went back to her seat to reflect on her costly 17 unforced errors.
But as soon as the second set got off, Rybakina broke Jabeur and held on to take a 2-0 lead.

Jabeur had to work hard to maintain contact as Rybakina had now established her rhythm.

The 6-foot-1, 1.84-meter-tall Kazakh, who is only 23 years old, then saved three break points before breaking once again to go up 4-1 when Jabeur’s forehand went long.

Rybakina’s ace brought the game to a stalemate as Jabeur considered the set’s four squandered break-point opportunities.

In the final, the 17th seed was the first to score, breaking right away to put Jabeur under pressure.

Frustratingly , the Tunisian lost three break points in the sixth game, which ended up being her final opportunity.

In serving out for the set, Rybakina had some nervousness. She ultimately triumphed with her first championship point after Jabeur’s backhand went long.

In 2018, Rybakina shifted her commitment to Kazakhstan while competing in her first Slam final.

Following the invasion of Ukraine, Wimbledon has barred players from Russia and Belarus.

Prior to Wimbledon this year, Rybakina had never advanced past the quarterfinals of a Slam tournament.
The Kazakhstani star defeated Zhang Shuai to win the 2020 Hobart International, which was her most recent success.

It’s possible that Rybakina’s thrilling triumph at Wimbledon will mark a significant turning point in her career.
