Summary

Catherine, David and Matt look back on the women's final as Marketa Vondrousova beat Ons Jabeur 6-4 6-4 to become a Wimbledon and Grand Slam champion for the first time. There's chat about how Jabeur's nerves took hold of her and prevented her playing her best tennis, whether she will ever win a major title, the way in which Vondrousova played a smart match and became a nightmare opponent for Jabeur, what this title might do for Vondrousova's career, and much more.

Elsewhere, we round up the results from the wheelchair, doubles and junior tournaments, and preview the men's final between Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz.

0:03.1	I'm Matt Vellander. This is Mary Carrillo. This is Pam Shriver.
0:06.4	This is Janik Noah and you're listening to the tennis podcast.
0:20.5	Hello and welcome to the tennis podcast live from Wimbledon on the penultimate day of the
0:26.6	championships, where among others, and we will talk about all of them, but Marquette of
0:31.6	Wondroshiver is a Wimbledon champion. Those Czech lefties, they're pretty pesky around these parts,
0:38.5	aren't they? She is the first ever unseeded women's Wimbledon champion. She was the first unseeded
0:44.7	finalist since Billie Jean King, but of course that year Billie Jean didn't win the title,
0:49.4	so Wondroshiver takes it in two straight sets over on Shriver and there is so, so much to talk
0:58.4	about. Matt, you're going to have to be mostly talking for the first five minutes because David was

1:09.7	Well, I feel like fitness is a question of recovery speed and so yeah, you carry on.

1:28.0	the most emotional tennis matches I've ever watched actually and been so affected by, you know,
1:35.7	I really, really want to make sure in this podcast that we give Marquette of Wondroshiver her due,
1:40.9	and she played an incredible tournament. Her story is unbelievable having only one two
1:48.7	matches on grass before this grass court season. She's now the Wondroshiver champion. It is
1:53.6	mind-blowing and she played a great, great final, but I must say I'm very, very sad for Ones
1:59.6	Jabburr, I found the final an incredibly tough watch and yeah, I had to go for a little walk
2:05.2	around the grounds after it had finished just to just sort of clear my head a little bit. It was
2:10.8	really affecting. Yeah, we've been, we've been a bit anxious about this one actually. I mean,
