Elena Rybakina defeated Ons Jabeur in the Wimbledon final on Saturday, 3-6, 6-2, 6-2, to not only become the first player representing Kazakhstan—male or female—ever to capture a Grand Slam title, but also to become the first woman in 16 years to come back from a set down to win the Wimbledon final.

The last woman to achieve the feat was Amelie Mauresmo, who defeated Justine Henin in an all-one-handed-backhand battle in the 2006 final, 2-6, 6-3, 6-4.
