Wimbledon 2022: Ons Jabeur to face Elena Rybakina in women's final

The women's Wimbledon final match is set.

Ons Jabeur of Tunisia will face Elena Rybakina of Kazakhstan after both were victorious Thursday.

Jabeur, 27, took down Tatjana Maria of Germany 6-2, 3-6, 6-1 while Rybakina, 23, beat Simona Halep of Romania in straight sets 6-3, 6-3.

This final will be extra special for both competitors. Neither Jabeur nor Rybakina had ever reached a Grand Slam final in their careers, previously only advancing as far as the quarterfinals. Jabeur reached the quarterfinals of Wimbledon in 2021 and the quarterfinals at the Australian Open in 2020, while Rybakina reached the quarterfinals of the Frend Open in 2021.
