Marketa Vondrousova wins Wimbledon for 1st career Grand Slam

LONDON -- Marketa Vondrousova became the first unseeded woman to win Wimbledon in a stunning 6-4, 6-4 upset over No. 6 Ons Jabeur.

"After everything I've been through, it's amazing I can stand here and hold this," Vondrousova said on court after the match. "Tennis is crazy."

Once a top-15 player and 2019 French Open finalist, Vondrousova, a lefty, has been hampered by injuries and pain in her left wrist. She underwent multiple surgeries in the three years that followed her Roland Garros run and last year, attended Wimbledon as a tourist with a cast on her left arm.
