Rybakina by the numbers

Elena Rybakina has notched up some impressive figures during The Championships: from aces and her lightning serve, to winners, break points and even her age. Here are a few of them. 

1

Rybakina is the first player – man or woman – from Kazakhstan to win Wimbledon or any of the four Grand Slams. She was already the first player from her country to appear in a Grand Slam singles final (and before that the first to appear in a Grand Slam semi-final). 

2

This was only Rybakina's second appearance in the main draw of Wimbledon. Last year she lost in the fourth round. 

3

The number of break points Rybakina fended off at 2-3 in the third set. Had she been broken then, the match could have ended very differently. In all, Rybakina saved nine of the 11 break points she faced in the final. 

4

At world No.23, Rybakina was the fourth lowest ranked Wimbledon finalist since the introduction of the computer rankings in 1975. 

11

At 23, Rybakina is the youngest ladies' singles champion at Wimbledon for 11 years, since Petra Kvitova won in 2011.

12

Kazakhstan is only the 12th country to have a ladies' singles champion. The others are the United States, Great Britain, Germany, France, Australia, the Czech Republic, Brazil, Spain, Switzerland, Russia and Romania. 

16

Rybakina's goal at the start of the Fortnight was to make the last 16. 

29

Rybakina's total number of winners for the final, an illustration of her "very aggressive" approach to lawn tennis, and 12 more than Jabeur managed. Rybakina made 33 unforced errors, nine more than Jabeur.

53

The number of aces Rybakina served during the Fortnight, the most of any woman, and her record for any tournament. But she only produced four in the final, the same number as Ons Jabeur. 

64

Surprisingly, Rybakina didn't hit her first ace until 64 minutes into the final. 

122

Rybakina's fastest serve of The Championships in mph, which came in the fourth round. The only woman to hit a faster serve all Fortnight was Coco Gauff of the United States, who reached 124mph in her second round match. 

173

Rybakina's total winners for her seven matches. 

184

Rybakina's height in centimetres. That's 6ft tall, and six inches taller than Jabeur. She ended a run of shorter players winning Wimbledon, after Simona Halep (5ft 6in) in 2019 and Ashleigh Barty (5ft 5in) in 2021.
