Before today’s final, Rybakina and Ons met three times, and each player won one match before Rybakina withdrew due to illness in Chicago for her last match a year ago. Rybakina denied her rival Jaber the opportunity to become the first Arab and African Wimbledon champion, as well as to win her first major title.
