A lot of records have already been created even before the Wimbledon 2022 women's final. Jabeur, the No. 2-ranked player in the world, made history as the first African woman and first Arab, male or female, to reach the finals of a Grand Slam tournament.

Jabeur and Rybakina had to defeat Tatjana Maria and Simona Halep, respectively, in the semifinals to advance. Jabeur beat Tatjana Maria 6-2, 3-6, 6-1 in the semifinals to clinch a spot in the summit clash.

Rybakina, the No. 17 seed, defeated former champion Halep 6-3, 6-3 on Thursday with a clinical display to reach her maiden Grand Slam showpiece.

Both women are just one victory away from making history and earning the privilege to hold the Venus Rosewater Dish high overhead, even though neither has previously advanced past the quarterfinals in a major.

It definitely will be an exciting match but it's not that the players don't know the opponent's strengths and weaknesses. Jabeur and Rybakina have faced off against one another earlier too. Since 2019, they have played against each other in three matches, with the Tunisian holding a 2-1 advantage.

Jabeur will try to maintain her winning streak on Saturday by winning the Venus Rosewater Dish.

The Moscow-born Rybakina, on the other hand, had a fantastic start to the 2022 campaign. In Adelaide, she advanced to the final but fell to Ashleigh Barty, who was ranked No. 1 at the time. The 23-year-old has found it difficult to match that high since then.

In her last 13 events, Rybakina only advanced as far as one quarterfinal at the BNP Paribas Open before making it to Wimbledon.
