Set as number 17, the surprise woman beats second in the world rankings Ons Jabeur from Tunisia 3: 6, 6: 2, 6: 2.
(sda) Russian-born Rybakina, who only changed her nationality four years ago, started extremely nervously in a duel between two debutants in a major final. Therefore, the “artist” Jabeur initially determined the game with her many slice balls. However, when Rybakina managed to reduce her error rate, she dominated with her powerful baseline balls and, above all, her strong serve.
