On the evening of July 15th, Beijing time, in the Wimbledon women’s singles final, 24-year-old Czech girl Vandrosova defeated No. 6 seed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar of Tunisia 6:4, 6:4 and won her first Grand Slam women’s singles title , becoming the first unseeded player to win the championship in tournament history. She called her Wimbledon trip “crazy”.
Wandrosova was once the number one teenager in the world. She won the tour championship at the age of 17, the French Open runner-up at the age of 19, and the women’s singles runner-up in the Tokyo Olympics. Accompanied by the achievements, are the injuries that come quietly, and the pain of the left wrist is like a shadow. After being eliminated in the first round of the Stuttgart Open last year, she had to undergo surgery on the advice of a doctor. For this reason, he had a 6-month truce, and his WTA ranking slipped from 32nd to 124th. After his comeback in October, he had to start once more from the ITF event. She has been out of battle for a long time, her ranking has declined, and she is an unseeded player, so that people seem to forget that she was also a Grand Slam runner-up.
She is the first player to reach the Wimbledon women’s singles final as an unseeded player since the Open era, and she is also the second lowest-ranked Wimbledon finalist since the establishment of the WTA point system in 1975. The last one was Serena Williams in 2018. Ranked 181st. “I haven’t played many grass court games. If it’s hard court or clay court, I feel that all this is possible, but it’s impossible on grass court. It’s really crazy.” Then “crazy to the end”! In the final, she defeated Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. At the moment of victory, she knelt on the grass of Center Court. The painful struggle, unwillingness and loneliness in the past, in her tenacious persistence, all echoed in the glory of this moment.Our reporter Su Yahui
