Since they showed her husband and discussed their anniversary tomorrow, here’s an odd stat: Marketa Vondrousova is the first married #Wimbledon women’s singles champion since Chris Evert Lloyd in 1981.
Vondrousova first married woman to win Wimbledon since legendary Chris Evert

Amid all the stats surrounding Marketa Vondrousova being the first unseeded player to win Wimbledon as well as the lowest ranked, there is another relating to her personal life and making history in that regard.
Vondrousova is the first married Wimbledon women's singles champion since Chris Evert (then Lloyd) in 1981.
The 24-year-old Czech star also is only just recently married around a year ago which she joked was their anniversary present.
An ever present feature of her run was her husband not being present to look after their cats.
But he proved to be the ultimate good luck charm when he was there as she won the title.
Many have got married after winning Wimbledon including Serena Williams and most recently, Ashleigh Barty but Vondrousova becomes the first in a long time that is currently married when she won the tournament.
But also interestingly, it would've been that stat either way as Ons Jabeur is also married.
