As Barbora Krejcikova stood with the Venus Rosewater Dish in her hands, there was one thing she could not stop saying.
"I don't have any words right now, it's just unbelievable," the Czech said, to cheers from the crowd.
Asked what it means to the Czech Republic to have another Wimbledon champion, she said: "Well, I think nobody believes it that I got to the final and nobody believes that I won Wimbledon.
"I still can't believe it."
Krejcikova arrived at SW19 having won just three matches in five months, the result of a season plagued by injury and illness.
