A quick look through the Vondrousova family tree should have given away the hallmarks of a future champion.

Daughter of Jindriska Anderlova, a once prominent volleyball star for Slavia Prague, and granddaughter of Frantisek Frk, the Czech national pentathlon champion in 1935, it was no surprise when a young Marketa was gifted at every sport.

Now, she has the chance to write her own name in history.

Real more about the 24-year-old below.

Interestingly, both women were up against it in the semis on Thursday, with it expected their runs would come to an end.

But Jabeur continued her fairytale story as she beat Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka, while Vondrousova stormed past Elina Svitolina to set up a final of the underdogs today.

It really does promise to be a good one.

Good afternoon one and all and welcome to Mail Sport’s live coverage of the women’s singles Wimbledon final.
