That's strange. But ok, great for her.
It seems a bit unfair, Ons Jabeur seems to have laboured a lot more, beating some real candidates I mean bigger names, but the draw is what the draw is.
Czech girls are doing great at Wimbledon?
Navratilova, Novotna, Kvitova, now Vondrousova. Anyone else?
Wow, what a great match she played.
First unseeded women's W champ ever, right?

Hana Mandlikova made it to the Wimbledon singles
final twice. Those were in 1981 and 1986, but she
lost both times.
Whether you consider that as "doing great" is up
to you to decide. She did win the other three Grand
Slam singles and was a Top Ten player, so at least
generally speaking she was great.

Yep, she can only beat the players on the other side of the court. She
beat the number 12, 20, 32, and 4 seeds along the way.

Absolutely. An obvious, and classic choke job. She broke to lead 4-2
in 1st set, but lost her serve to love and 5 games in a row, looking
like a scared dear in the headlights the whole match.
