Czech Marketa Vondrousova and Ons Jaber from Tunisia reached the final of the Wimbledon women’s draw.

In the semi-finals, she defeated Ukrainian Elina Svitolina, who received a wild card, with a score of 6:3, 6:3. In the final, her opponent will be the second Zhaber, who beat the second seed of the tournament Arina Sobolenko from Belarus – 6:7, 6:4, 6:3.
