In 2023, Marketa Vondrousova stunned the tennis world by becoming the first unseeded woman ever to win Wimbledon, and—at No. 42—the lowest-ranked woman to do it since WTA rankings began in 1975.

Today, almost two years later, lightning has struck again.

The Czech, currently at No. 164 after missing most of the last year with a shoulder injury, has become the lowest-ranked woman to reach the Berlin final after stunning Aryna Sabalenka in straight sets, 6-2, 6-4, in the semifinals of the WTA 500 grass-court event on Saturday.

Her victory over Sabalenka is her first win over a reigning No. 1, and she's now into her first final since conquering the All-England Club in 2023.

More to come...

Vondrousova's best career wins by ranking before this were five victories over world No. 2s.
