Today Elena Rybakina defeated Ons Jabeur in the Wimbledon final. Or maybe yesterday, I don’t know. In Center Court bathed in blinding white light, the blond, young Kazakh shook off sweat and sunshine. The Tunisian player on the ground, she expressed no emotion when it was all over. She was asked to explain herself, she was called upon to justify herself, almost in the tone of reproach. She had little to say, nothing of interest to her judges. It happened like that, that’s all. Maybe it was yesterday.
