Barbora dominated in the 1^st set to win it 6-2 after converting 2 breaks from 4 chances as she didn’t give Paolini any break chances. However, in the 2^nd set, the roles reversed and the Italian converted 2 breaks from 4 opportunities as Barbora had only 1 break point but Jasmine saved it.

In the 3^rd set, 1 break was enough for the victory and the title as Krejcikova broke Paolini’s serve when the Italian was serving to get 4-3 lead, but Barbora was the one that secured that lead.

Krejcikova needed 3 match balls to close the set and the match and to win Wimbledon.
