Summary
Elena Rybakina is a Wimbledon champion, coming from a set down to defeat Ons Jabeur in an exciting final on Saturday. How did Rybakina overcome her nerves to turn the match around? What could Jabeur have done differently? And will both players win slams in the future? Catherine, David and Matt go through it all while reviewing the match.
There's also chat about the questioning Rybakina received on her lack of celebration and the fact she was born in Moscow, Jabeur's upbeat press conference, and her incredible connection with the fans.
We also preview the men's final between Nick Kyrgios and Novak Djokovic and run through more of today's results, including the girls' final and lots of wheelchair action.
