Tunisian tennis star Ons Jabeur lost the Wimbledon women's championship on Saturday, again falling short of winning a Grand Slam tournament after a historic run.

Sixth-seeded Jabeur lost to unseeded Czech player Marketa Vondrousova in straight sets 6-4, 6-4. It is Vondrousova's first Grand Slam victory.

The Tunisian star made her way to the final after stunning second-seeded Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka in three sets on Thursday. The loss is her second in the Wimbledon final after last year's against Kazakh player Elena Rybakina.

Jabeur, 28, was favored in the match against Vondrousova.
