London

Ons Jabeur of Tunisia will meet Elena Rybakina in a historic women's singles final that features an Arab player in a Grand Slam summit clash for the first time in the history of the game.

Incidentally, Rybakina is also the first woman from her country–Kazhakstan-to feature in the Wimbledon final ensuring that a new champion will be crowned in the event on Saturday night.

But more than the history part, for the tennis aficionados it will be a clash between two players of contrasting styles.

It is a classic clash of the two distinct styles -- Rybakina, at 6-feet-0, hits the ball hard, with tempo and timing. Jabeur is shorter but is a magician with the racquet, routinely making unbelievable shots with power and precision.

Rybakina reached the semifinal by beating former champion Simona Halep in straight sets. Rybakina has produced 49 aces in six matches and more than half of her first serves haven't come back into play.

Jabeur, has already created history by becoming the first Arab or North African woman to reach this far in a grand slam in the Open era. She beat Tatjana Maria of Germany in the last four stage 6-2, 3-6, 6-1.

Rybakina and Jabeur have played three times before, but it was 1-all when that third match ended a year ago with Rybakina retiring due to illness in Chicago.
