Elena Rybakina has etched her name in the tennis history books as the first Kazakh to win Wimbledon with a three-set defeat of Tunisia’s Ons Jabeur in the final.

Rybakina rallied from a set down to deny Jabeur her own slice of history with a 3-6 6-2 6-2 victory over the Tunisian world No.2 in Saturday’s final at the All England Club.

The 23-year-old Rybakina is also the youngest women’s Wimbledon champion since Petra Kvitova in 2011 after reducing Jabeur to a frustrated wreck during the .one-hour, 48 minute title decider.
