Elena is the youngest winner of this tournament since 2011. Then the Czech Petra Kvitova won the Wimbledon at the age of 21.
Note that for Rybakina and Zhaber it was the first Grand Slam final in their careers.
Russian and Belarusian tennis players were not allowed to Wimbledon. Due to the Ukrainian events, they were removed from the competition. In this regard, the ATP and WTA stripped the tournament of ranking points.
Rybakina became the first native of Moscow in history to win Wimbledon.
