Markéta Vondroušová wasn’t supposed to be here. Simply put, nobody has been in this spot before.
Not only did the Czech tennis star just win Wimbledon, but she also made a bit of history while accomplishing her greatest career feat at just 24 years old.

Vondroušová became the first unseeded player in the Open era to win Wimbledon. She did so in a dominating fashion, too, defeating Ons Jabeur in straight sets for the first Grand Slam title.
No one could’ve predicted this at the beginning of the tournament. This isn’t something any of us expected to see — especially considering how terrible Vondroušová had been on grass before Wimbledon. Even with 6 wins in the tournament on the surface, she still had a 10-11 record on the surface.
Yet, still, Vondroušová came out on top. Here’s the moment she won the match.
Marketa's magical moment 🏆

So many people were happy to see Vondroušová make this bit of history. It felt like such a special moment.
