Wimbledon: Ons Jabeur & Elena Rybakina bid to make further history in final

There will be a new name on the Venus Rosewater Dish as Ons Jabeur and Elena Rybakina chase further history in the Wimbledon final on Saturday.

Rybakina, who was born in Russia but has represented Kazakhstan since 2018, is aiming to become the country's first player to win a major singles trophy.

They will play from 14:00 BST on Centre Court, with coverage across the BBC.

Their head-to-head is tied at one win apiece, while Rybakina retired midway through their third meeting with injury.

Both have scaled new heights by making the final. World number two Jabeur is the first African woman to reach a major final since 1960, while 23-year-old Rybakina is the youngest women's finalist at SW19 since 2015, when Garbine Muguruza was 21.
