Wimbledon Women’s Championships 2023: Jabeur, Vondrousova to square off in the Final

The women’s field at Wimbledon is down to to.

Ons Jabeur will take on Marketa Vondrousova in the Final on Saturday.

Regardless of who wins, tennis fans will witness a first. Neither Jabeur nor Vondrousova has won a Grand Slam title before.

As for the rest of the tournament, read on.

Previous update: Weather has been the big story at the start of the 2023 Wimbledon Championships.

Rain fell on London for the third day in a row, causing havoc in the schedule. Wednesday now sees over 101 matches schedule for Wimbledon, including both first- and second-round matches.

For more on the 2023 Wimbledon Championships, including the men’s bracket, how to watch, and scores, read on.

Previous update: Iga Światek is the top-ranked women’s tennis player in the world. She enters Wimbledon as the top-seeded player on the women’s side, and is coming off a win at the 2023 French Open, her fourth major title.

But there are a few reasons why she is not considered the clear favorite for the 2023 Wimbledon Championships.

Światek’s best finish in London came back in 2021, when she advanced to the fourth round. Grass is not her strongest surface, as she has won just 69.57% of her matches on grass over her career, compared with 75.86% of her matches on hard surfaces and a stunning 86% on clay surfaces.

If not Światek, then who? Perhaps defending champion Elena Rybakina. Rybakina’s only major title came at last year’s Wimbledon championships, and over her career grass has been one of her stronger surfaces.

Aryna Sabalenka is another player to watch, as her power pairs well with the surfaces at Wimbledon, especially as the tournament rolls on. Sabalenka’s best run at Wimbledon came back in 2021 when she reached the semifinals, and she has enjoyed a tremendous start to her 2023 season, winning in Melbourne and reaching the semis of the French Open.

As far as a dark horse on the women’s side, keep an eye on Ekaterina Alexandrova. She has fared well on grass over her career, and is 8-1 this season on the surface. She put together a deep run at the Grass Court Championships in Berlin, upsetting Coco Graff in the Round of 16 before losing in the semis. Following her victory over Graff Alexandrova conceded that while grass might not be her favorite surface, it suits her playing style. “Grass is and remains not my favorite surface,” said Alexandrova. “But playing on grass suits me nevertheless.”

As far as the rest of the field, the entire women’s bracket is below.
