Wimbledon 2023 women's final: Ons Jabeur and Marketa Vondrousova target title history

A year ago, Ons Jabeur had a photo of the Wimbledon women's trophy on her phone screen as she chased history.

She swiftly erased it after missing out on the real thing but on Saturday has another chance when she faces Marketa Vondrousova in the final (14:00 BST).

The popular Tunisian hopes her third major final proves lucky as she aims to be the first African or Arab woman to win a Grand Slam singles title.

"Hopefully, I can make history not just for Tunisia but for Africa," she said.

Like last year, sixth seed Jabeur heads into the women's final as the favourite.
