She faces unseeded Czech left-hander Vondrousova, 24, who has come from nowhere to reach the showpiece final.

In fact, she was not even seeded for the tournament, making her rise to a Grand Slam final all the more unlikely.

Who is the lowest-ranked player to reach the Wimbledon women’s singles final?

Vondrousova, the world No42, is the second-lowest ranked player to reach the final of the world’s biggest grass court tournament since the WTA rankings were introduced.

Surprisingly, the lowest-ranked player to reach the final was Serena Williams, who steamed through to the 2018 final at No 181 in the WTA rankings.

She came in as No 31 that year.

Has an unseeded player ever won the Wimbledon women’s title?

No, this has never happened.

If Vondrousova clinches the title, she will make history and become the first woman to ever achieve this.
